A space which fills with fluid in an organ but without the walls which would form a cyst, as a result of softening or necrosis of the tissue.<\/p>\n
A formation that appears to be a cyst but lacks the internal fluid-filled nature of an actual cyst.<\/p>\n
A fluid-filled space without a proper wall or lining, within an organ. A pancreatic pseudocyst may develop in cases of chronic pancreatitis or as a complication of acute pancreatitis. As the pseudocyst, which is filled with enzyme-rich pancreatic juice, slowly expands it may cause episodes of abdominal pain accompanied by a persistent rise in the level of enzymes in the blood. It may be felt by abdominal examination, or it may be seen by radiology as it displaces other organs. Treatment is by surgical drainage, usually by the technique of joining the pseudocyst to the stomach or jejunum (marsupialization).<\/p>\n
A space within an organ without a defined lining and which contains fluid. Patients with chronic pancreatitis sometimes develop these pseudocysts which fill with pancreatic juice containing enzymes produced by the gland. Abdominal pain usually results; treatment is by surgical draining.<\/p>\n
A collection of fluid that becomes surrounded by a capsule, especially a fluid collection that forms in the pancreas during some cases of pancreatitis.<\/p>\n
