AbstractPancreatic pseudocyst is a well-known complication of both acute and chronic pancreatitis. It is a collection of fluid due to acute or chronic inflammation of pancreas or from injury. A pseudocyst with mediastinal extension is a rare entity. There are only few reports of endoscopic transesophageal drainage of mediastinal pseudocysts. We present a case of mediastinal pseudocyst in a 45-year-old male who presented with dysphagia, weight loss, fever, and productive cough which was managed endoscopically by endoscopic ultrasound-guided transesophageal aspiration.

Isolated cases of Pancreatic Tuberculosis remains a rare entity even in countries with a high incidence of Tuberculosis. It presents as a hypoechoic mass on ultrasonography and imaging mimicking pancreatic malignancy. Consequently, it represents a diagnostic challenge both clinically (due to a similar array of symptoms) and radiologically. The diagnosis often requires tissue biopsy. The possibility of TB should be considered in the list of differential diagnoses of pancreatic mass and an endoscopic, ultrasound-guided biopsy might help to clinch the diagnosis of this potentially curable disease. Here, we report a case with symptoms of abdominal pain, progressive jaundice, and anorexia and weight loss, diagnosed to be a case of Disseminated Tuberculosis (Pancreatic TB) following Endoscopic Ultrasound guided FNAC of peri-pancreatic lymph nodes.

Pseudocyst Formation

Pseudocyst formation following acute and chronic pancreatitis is a well known complication. A pancreatic pseudocyst fistulating into the portal vein is a rare and potentially fatal complication. We report a case of pancreatic pseudocyst – portal vein fistula, which was managed with a conservative approach.

Acute And Chronic Pancreatitis

Pancreatic pseudocyst develops in both acute and chronic pancreatitis. It is an entity likely to either remain asymptomatic or develop devastating complications. Despite being diagnosed easily, treatment exercise is still at crossroads whether in the form of internal or external drainage or endoscopic, laparoscopic, or open intervention with a good radiological guidance. The therapeutic dilemma whether to treat a patient with a pancreatic pseudocyst, as well as when and with what technique, is a difficult one. This paper is intended to get information about diagnostic and therapeutic exercises most appropriate for acute and chronic pancreatic pseudocyst.
