Abstract
- Pancreatic pseudocysts occur following acute pancreatitis, chronic pancreatitis or secondary to pancreatic trauma. Most pancreatic pseudocysts are located in or around the pancreas, but they can be found in all the potential spaces around viscera in and outside of the abdominal cavity. The complications of pancreatic pseudocyst are infection, rupture, obstruction, fistula, or hemorrhage. Hemorrhage is a rare but frequently fatal complication of pancreatic pseudocysts. We report a case of pancreatic pseudocyst presented as bleeding of duodenum, which was misidentified for duodenal submucosal tumor bleeding.
