title: [Acute pancreatitis with fluid collections complicated with cutaneous fistula].
abstract: The presence of acute fluid collections is an habitual event in an acute pancreatitis, generally followed by a favourable outcome. We present a case about an ancient woman suffering from an acute necrotizing pancreatitis with tense fluid collections that produced espontaneously several cutaneous fistula. We find no report on literature about this uncommon complication. We revised clinical management of acute fluid collections and pancreatic fistulas.
