[Pseudocysts and retention cysts in acute and chronic pancreatitis (author's transl)]. 1979

42 cases of pancreatic cyst in acute (22 cases) pr chronic (20 cases) pancreatitis were seen between 1962 and 1976. Analysis of the case data revealed the following: (1) exact assignment of the cyst to acute or chronic pancreatitis is often possible only by long-term observation; (2) the cysts of chronic pancreatitis are not a uniform group: some (8 cases) apparently occurred in acute pancreatitis through necrotic episodes (pseudocysts), others (12 cases) by a retention mechanism; these "retention cysts" develop later in the course of chronic pancreatitis than the pseudocysts and produce a different clinical picture with better prognosis; (3) barium meal and retrograde cholangiopancreatography proved of diagnostic value' (4) if the cysts persist for more than six weeks operation is indicated because of the high incidence of complications.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009336 Necrosis The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
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
D010195 Pancreatitis INFLAMMATION of the PANCREAS. Pancreatitis is classified as acute unless there are computed tomographic or endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatographic findings of CHRONIC PANCREATITIS (International Symposium on Acute Pancreatitis, Atlanta, 1992). The two most common forms of acute pancreatitis are ALCOHOLIC PANCREATITIS and gallstone pancreatitis.
