Gray scale ultrasonography in the diagnosis of pseudocysts of the pancreas simulating renal pathology. 1978

C S De Graaff, and K J Taylor, and A T Rosenfield, and B Kinder

Ultrasonography has proved to be a reliable tool in the diagnosis of pseudocysts. A case is reported of a patient with a pseudocyst in the transverse mesocolon adjacent to the left kidney and spleen. Initial examination by computerized tomography and angiography failed to visualize the mass, while a renal cyst was simulated on nephrotomography. Repeat ultrasound examinations showed progressive increases in the size of the pseudocyst. This diagnosis was confirmed at operation. We believe that ultrasound is the modality of choice in patients with clinical suspicion of a pseudocyst.

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
