Abstract
Pancreatic pseudocysts are the most common cystic lesions of the pancreas, accounting for 75-80% of such masses.
Pancreatic pseudocyst with mediastinal extension is a rare clinical entity and only a handful cases report on
dysphagia associated with mediastinal pseudocyst formation.1 We present a case of pancreatic mediastinal
pseudocyst that presented with palpitations and dysphagia. Demonstration of cystic lesion in relation to the pancreas
on ultrasound and mediastinal extension of the cyst on CT suggested the diagnosis.
Key words: pseudocyst, mediastinal cyst, pancreas
