Pancreatic pseudocysts: unusual ultrasound features
MR Conrad,
MJ Landay,
and
M Khoury
Three unusual cases of pancreatic pseudocyst are described in which primary renal or splenic pathology was simulated on ultrasound imaging. When an abnormal fluid collection is imaged in a patient with a history of alcoholism, a pancreatic pseudocyst should be considered and an amylase determination should be obtained on any aspirated fluid.
