Abstract
A 75-year-old man visited our hospital complaining of dyspnea on working and abdominal fullness. He had consumed heavy alcohol daily for the past 40 years. Chest radiography showed bilateral pleural effusion, and the pleural fluid amylase level was increased markedly to 6776 IU/L. Multidetector row computed tomography showed extensively distributed pancreatic stones in the dilated main pancreatic duct and massive ascites (Figure A). Its coronal (Figures B–D, arrow delineating the fistulous tract) and sagittal (Figure E, arrow delineating the fistulous tract) cine images showed a fistula that arose from the dilated main pancreatic duct and extended cranially along the esophagus into the mediastinum.
