Abstract
Pancreatic pleural fistula is one of the rare and difficulty verifying complication of chronic pancreatitis. We present a rare medical case of a patient with chronic pancreatitis complicated by pancreatic pleural fistula with the formation
of multiple lung abscesses. At the same time, the success of the treatment of the patient was due to the staged treatment and the participation of a multidisciplinary team of specialists.
