[Pancreatic pseudocysts simulating a mass in the left kidney. A report on 4 cases (author's transl)]. 1979

G Lemaitre, and J L Dehaehe, and M Grand, and C L'Herminé

Pancreatic pseudocysts were observed to simulate a mass in the upper pole of the left kidney in 4 patients. Urographic investigation of these pseudocysts revealed deformities similar in all respects to those produced by a cyst, though in two cases the mass was surrounded by a thick wall. A better definition of the parenchymatous deformity was obtained by the use of true trunk profile nephrotomograms. The value of ultrasonography, using the grey scale, and of transparietal puncture with measurement of amylase levels, is stressed. The authors discuss the problem of establishing the precise location--anterior to, surrounding, or within the kidney--of these pseudocysts.

D010181 Pancreatic Cyst A true cyst of the PANCREAS, distinguished from the much more common PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST by possessing a lining of mucous EPITHELIUM. Pancreatic cysts are categorized as congenital, retention, neoplastic, parasitic, enterogenous, or dermoid. Congenital cysts occur more frequently as solitary cysts but may be multiple. Retention cysts are gross enlargements of PANCREATIC DUCTS secondary to ductal obstruction. (From Bockus Gastroenterology, 4th ed, p4145) Cyst, Pancreatic,Cysts, Pancreatic,Pancreatic Cysts
