title: Ascites following prostatectomy: a rare presentation of comorbid disease.
abstract: We report a rare case of ascites developing in the early post-prostatectomy period due to a mass originating from the head of the pancreas. Comorbid diseases that are not documented preoperatively may emerge with signs mimicking the complication of prostate surgery.
