Abstract
The case presented demonstrates an alternative management approach for malignant ascites. A permanent indwelling peritoneal port for at-home, small-volume paracentesis, provided palliative therapy for a patient who had malignant ascites secondary to breast cancer. The device allowed paracentesis without the risk of repetitive peritoneal puncture or diuretic therapy.Entities:
