    AbstractA case of pancreaticopleural fistula with recurrent hemorrhagic pleural effusion has been described and the pathogenesis of pleural effusion associated with pancreatitis was discussed. Importance of thinking about pancreatic disease as a cause and estimation of amylase in pleural fluid is stressed. The diagnostic limitation of endoscopic retrograde cannulation of the pancreatic duct for defining a fistulous tract has also been noted.
