The incidence and significance of ecchymosis in 770 patients with acute pancreatitis is reported. The over-all incidence of 3 per cent is greater than generally appreciated. The development of this sign predicts the development of severe complications during the course of the disease and, in particular, there is an association with pseudocyst formation. However, the mortality of this group of patients is only 37 per cent which is in contrast to the views of many who believe that the development of Grey-Turner's sign or Cullen's sign, or both, predicts impending death.
本文报告了770例急性胰腺炎患者瘀斑的发生率及意义。总体发生率为3%，高于一般认知。该体征的出现预示着疾病过程中会出现严重并发症，特别是与假性囊肿形成有关。然而，这组患者的死亡率仅为37%，这与许多人认为出现格雷-特纳征或卡伦征，或两者同时出现预示着即将死亡的观点相反。
