What is Pseuducyst Pancreas?
Enclosed within a cavity inside the pancreas and surrounded by fibrous tissues is pseudocyst pancreas. A Pseudocyst looks like a cyst but is made up of different kinds of tissues than a true cyst. A true cyst is more likely to be cancerous than a pseudocyst. A pancreatic pseudocyst may occur in someone with chronic pancreatitis. It may also occur after trauma to the abdomen, more often in children.
