Background: The frequency of pancreatic fistulas is low. Only 0.4% of patients develop this complication after an acute episode. However, the incidence of these complications increases in patients with other complications after acute pancreatitis—4.5% in patients with pancreatic pseudocysts (4.5%) and 40% in patients with infected necrosis after surgical debridement. Treatment is conservative for most patients.1 Case: We report a case of Spontaneous Pancreatico-cutaneous (Pancreatico-umbilical) Fistula in a 30 year male complaining of pain in abdomen in epigastrium, lump in abdomen and spontaneous discharge of pus from umbilicus followed by disappearance of lump.
