Abstract

We report a case of a giant pancreatic pseudocyst in a 33-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain, loss of appetite and abdominal distension. CT scans revealed a giant pancreatic pseudocyst measuring 10.3 cm × 9.6 cm × 9.3 cm anteroposteriorly, with significant compression of the stomach. An open retrogastric cystogastrostomy was performed through a midline incision, and 3 L of fluid was drained from the pseudocyst. Recovery has been uneventful.

Keywords: Cystogastrostomy; Giant Pancreatic Pseudocyst.
