Core Tip	Ascites is a common symptom caused by a variety of diseases, the differential diagnosis between benign ascites and malignant ascites is one of the most important issues in clinical practice. Cytologic examinations and ascites tumor markers can provide important evidence, but their sensitivity and specificity are far from satisfactory. Our study aimed to explore the difference in cyclooxygensae-2 (COX-2) mRNA expression among different diseases. Our research suggests that COX-2mRNA can be detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, but there are no significant differences in the expression of COX-2 mRNA among various disease types with benign or malignant ascites.
