Ascites following prostatectomy: a rare presentation of comorbid disease

Int Urol Nephrol. 2002;34(3):365-7. doi: 10.1023/a:1024423317835.

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.
