Seven cases of pancreatic pleuropneumopathy are presented and the relevant literature is examined. Treatment of this unusual complications is an offshoot of the modern management of the underlying disease. Attention is drawn to the possibility of serious and sudden acute chest pictures with a clinical picture reminiscent of pancreatic storm. Resuscitation, pneumological and surgical management is required. The histological data for the series shows that a pleural response to the action of matter excreted by the pancreas was responsible.
