428-429

Montiel Jiménez Fuertes, Manuel Durán Poveda y Damián García Olmo

Abstract
Dear Editor,
There are multiple causes of persistent pleural effusion. Pancreaticopleural fistula (PFF) is one of them. This is a rare entity that only occurs occasionally in differential diagnoses due to the fact that it is an extremely rare consequence of chronic pancreatitis in adults. We report the case of persistent pleural effusion resulting from a pancreaticopleural fistula in a patient with chronic pancreatitis.
