Intrahepatic pseudocyst complicating acute pancreatitis: A rare case report
Journal Title: International Journal of Biomedical and Advance Research - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 6
Abstract
Intrahepatic pseudocysts are an extremely rare complication following acute pancreatitis with only a few cases previously described in literature. The paucity of experience and relevant literature on this condition leads to significant challenges in the differential diagnosis and management. We report herein a case of acute pancreatitis with development of left lobe intrahepatic pseudocysts with a dramatic progression necessating management by prompt drainage. The presence of liver lesions in patients with acute pancreatitis should raise the consideration of hepatic pseudocysts in the differential diagnosis which can lead to a more prompt and appropriate management.
