We report on a case of chylous ascites associated with acute pancreatitis secondary to gallbladder stone disease, in a patient undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis. The initial clinical presentation was one of bacterial peritonitis, with later appearance of chylous peritoneal drainage. Diagnosis was suggested by abdominal computed tomography and confirmed by surgical exploration. We discuss the main diagnostic keys of peritoneal dialysis-associated pancreatitis and the possible etiologic role of this entity in chylous ascites of these patients.
