Mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst is a rare complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Pleural effusion and pneumonia are two of the most common thoracic complications from pancreatic disease, while pancreaticopleural fistula with massive pleural effusion and extension of pseudocyst into the mediastinum is a rare complication of the thorax from pancreatic disease. To the best of our knowledge, there have been no case reports of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst-induced esophageal fistula in Korea to date. Here in, we report a case about 43-year-old man of mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst-induced esophageal fistula presenting with chest pain radiating toward the back and progressive dysphagia. The diagnosis was confirmed by an esophagogastroduodenoscopy and abdomen computed tomography (CT). The patient was treated immediately using a conservative method; subsequently, within 3 days from treatment initiation, symptoms-chest pain and dysphagia- disappeared. In a follow-up gastroscopy 7 days later and abdomen CT 12 days later, mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst showed signs of improvement, and esophageal fistula disappeared without any complications.

The pathogenesis of pancreatic pseudocyst is still not understood. A 5-year-old, 24-kg intact female Shetland Sheepdog was presented with anorexia and vomiting. Diagnostic imaging tests revealed that the left limb of the pancreas was thickened and contained two cystic lesions ($6.3{\times}5.6{\times}4cm^3$ and $3.5{\times}4.6{\times}5.5cm^3$). During the laparotomy, lesions were opened with de-roofing of superabundant tissue, and omentalization was performed. The dog recovered uneventfully after surgery and was discharged on postoperative day 12. Histopathologically, it was diagnosed as chronic pancreatic pseudocyst. This case report describes the diagnosis and successful omentalization of pancreatic pseudocysts in a dog.

Pancreatic pseudocyst is one of the most common pancreatic mass lesions developed following acute or chronic pancreatitis. Two dogs were presented with nonspecific clinical signs such as abdominal pain, vomiting and depression and diagnosed as pancreatic pseudocysts through percutaneous ultrasound-guided aspiration. Pancreatic pseudocyst may contain pancreatic juice, so leads the deteriorate state of patient through pertinent inflammation and autodigestion of pancreas. In this study, the clinical signs and pancreatic lesion were improved after aspiration. Percutaneous ultrasound-guided aspiration can provide the diagnostic information through cytology and lipase and amylase concentration, and be selected as the first choice for treatment.

A 10 year old boy was admitted with blunt abdominal trauma by bike handle injury. The patient was operated upon for a generalized peritonitis due to pancreaticoduodenal injury. On opening the peritoneal cavity. complete transection of distal end of common bile duct and. partial separation between pancreas head and second portion of duodenum were found. Ligation of the transected end of the common bile duct. T-tube choledochostomy, and external drainage were performed. A pseudocyst was found around the head portion of the pancreas on the 7th postoperative day with CT. An internal fistula had developed between the pseudocyst and ligated common bile duct. The pseudocyst was subsided after percutaneous drainage. In the case of the undetermined pancreatic injury, percutaneous external drainage can be effective in treating the traumatic pancreatic pseudocyst in a pediatric patient.

자가면역 췌장염 환자에서 드물지만 가성낭종이 동반될 수 있다. 자가면역 췌장염에 동반된 가성낭종은 대부분 스테로이드 투여만으로 소실된다고 알려져 있다. 하지만 본 증례에서는 스테로이드 투여에도 불구하고 가성낭종의 크기가 증가하였고, 이차적으로 낭종내 감염이 발생하였다. 이에 초음파내시경을 이용하여 낭종 배액술을 시행하였으며, 이를 통하여 가성낭종이 완전히 소실되었다.

만성 췌장질환에 의한 흉막삼출은 췌장염 증상없이 대량으로 발생하기도 한다. 이런 경우 흉막액내 아밀라제의 현저한 증가는 췌장질환의 발견에 도움이 되며 대부분 보존적 췌장염 치료로 호전된다. 저자들은 췌장염 증상없이 흉막저류가 발생한 환자에서 흉막액내 아밀라제 증가를 발견하여 복부 및 흉부 전산화 단층촬영으로 췌장가낭종과 췌장-흉막루를 진단하고 보존적 치료로 호전되었기에 보고하는 바이다.

A pancreatic pseudocyst is the most common cystic lesion in the pancreas. There are several treatment methods with variable results. Recently, conservative treatment has been preferred because it has fewer complications. In this case, a 37-year-old male patient had pancreatic pseudocysts with upper abdominal pain, left upper back pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and general weakness. We prescribed him Banchongsangamibang (蟠蔥散加味方). For about 1 year, he was treated with oriental medicine. All of his pancreatic pseudocysts disappeared on abdominal CT follow-up and the symptoms mostly subsided. There had been no recurrence of pancreatic pseudocysts on abdominal CT follow-up after 1 year.
