PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST - A DIAGNOSTIC DILEMMA IN THE TROPICS - A CASE REPORT

Pancreatic pseudocyst is a local but serious complication of acute pancreatitis. The diagnosis is difficult in the tropics where a number of diseases exist which may mimic this condition and diagnostic facilities are few and often inaccessible.
A case seen in the medical department of the University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar Nigeria illustrating this diagnostic difficulty is presented.
Key Words: Pancreatic pseudocyst, tropics.
