Ascites was present on the liver surface, abdominopelvic cavity, peripancreatic area, and posterior pararenal extraperitoneal space; furthermore, a gallstone was detected (Fig. 1A). Extensive inflammation and necrosis were observed, and the pancreatic cyst was resistant to therapy, requiring nearly 3 months of daily drainage and weekly necrectomy (Fig. 1B).
