Abstract
A case is reported of a patient with pancreatic carcinoma who developed pancreatic ascites after intraoperative fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) biopsy. This complication of FNAC has not previously been reported to the authors' knowledge. The literature is reviewed, and FNAC is shown to be the safest method of pancreatic biopsy, the present report not withstanding.
