UNUSUAL CLINICAL AND IMAGING FINDINGS IN PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYSTS
Abstract
Four cases of pancreatitis, with the presence of pancreatic pseudocysts were presented. All were clinically not indicative to be pancreatitis. They came to the hospital with a chief complaint of epigastric pain, left flank mass, enlarge scrotum, and massive bilateral pleural effusion. Sonography and Computed Tomography were performed and revealed pancreatic pseudocysts at the superior recess of omental bursa, subcapsular region of left kidney, in splenic hilum and at area posterior to left lobe of liver anterior to the stomach, which suggested to be in the hepatogastric ligament. Careful observation of the image findings in these cases will be helpful to make a differential diagnosis from other diseases.
