Hello dear

Warm welcome to Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query in details .

* Ascites is the fluid accumulation in the peritoneal cavity of the abdomen
from various causes , here in this case it seems most likely to be due to
spread of cancer pathology to abdomen and liver .

Hope this clears your doubt .
Wishing you fine recovery .

Welcome for any further assistance .
