A rare case of pseudocyst in remnant pancreas after classical pancreaticoduodenectomy- treated by endoscopic drainage

2017 
Pancreatic pseudocysts comprise more than 80 % of the cystic lesions of the pancreas. Here we report a 45-year-old female patient who developed a symptomatic pseudocyst in the remnant pancreas following classical pancreaticoduodenectomy for periampullary carcinoma. The pancreatic anastomosis was pancreaticogastrostomy- Dunking technique. She underwent endoscopic cystogastrostomy. Recurrence should always be ruled out before diagnosing pseudocyst in remnant pancreas following pancreaticoduodenectomy for malignant tumors.
