title: [Acute ascites as the onset of mixed connective tissue disease].
abstract: We present a case of mixed disease of the connective tissue in a 37-year-old woman previously healthy, whose first manifestations were ascites, facial edemas and tibiomalleolars, latter progressing with constitutional syndrome, myalgias, Raynaud's phenomenon and esophagic disorders. In the literature reviewed, we have not found any other case of this type of onset in mixed disease of the connective tissue.
