abstract: A 32-year-old worker, an alcoholic with a history of duodenal ulcer for 2 years, was admitted because of weight loss, severe pain in the upper abdomen, and ascites. Serum lipase was 1200 mU. X-ray showed a possible postbulbar ulcer. Laparotomy was performed, and 10 1 ascitic fluid were evacuated, the latter caused by a peripancreatic callosity compressing the portal vein.
