Core Tip	Malignant ascites can cause debilitating sym-ptoms in patients with peritoneal cancer. This report describes a patient with severe respiratory distress caused by malignant ascites from peritoneal colorectal carcinomatosis. The patient was successfully treated with hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy without cytoreductive surgery. Our results suggest that hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy without cytoreductive surgery should be considered in patients with symptomatic ascites, even when their prognosis is dismal.
