- Abstract
Pancreatic pseudocyst is an amylase-rich peri-pancreatic fluid collection devoid of epithelial lining. Occasionally, it cannot be differentiated from cystic neoplasm of pancreas and resections are required. We report a case of pancreatic pseudocyst masquerading cystic neoplasm treated with distal pancreatectomy. The investigation strategy and management of cystic lesions of the pancreas are also discussed.
