Pancreatic ascites is a rare disease which is often misinterpreted as ascites secondary to alcoholic cirrhosis or to intraabdominal cancer. It can be diagnosed by a high protein and amylase/lipase content of the ascitic fluid. If diagnosis and subsequent surgery occur at an early stage, the prognosis is good. The natural course, therapy, prognosis, and pathogenesis of pancreatic ascites are discussed on the basis of experience with 7 patients.
