Resumo

Massive ascites of unknown origin is a rare condition with a wide differential diagnosis, so our goal is to illustrate the diagnostic process performed to achieve it in an orderly and logical way. Specifically, our patient is a young woman without a history of interest with ascites of slow progression until becoming massive and refractory to medical treatment, requiring the performance of various complementary tests that finally led to a laparoscopic approach to obtain the etiological diagnosis, being secondary to a giant splenic pseudocyst secondary to cavernous hemangioma with reactive mesothelial hyperplasia.
