Peritonitis, pancreatitis, and an infected pseudocyst or a lesser sac abscess occurred concurrently in a continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patient. Lack of localizing signs and laboratory abnormalities and technical difficulties with sonography delayed definitive therapy. This case illustrates the complicated course that peritonitis may sometimes run in a CAPD patient.
