Pancreatic fistula is an important and possible complication of left nephrectomy performed for inflammatory or malignant lesions of kidney. This may develop due to intimate relationship of tail of pancreas to left kidney.

The patient was managed conservatively with subcutaneous injections of octreotide which led to closure of fistula and healing of excoriation.
