Abstract

A 53-year-old man was referred to our hospital for pancreatitis and found a large pancreatic pseudocyst on abdominal US, CT. Six weeks after the onset, endoscopic drainage was performed and the pseudocyst was mostly resolved, and the subjective symptoms were remarkedly improved. We consider that endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts can be a safe and effective, and definitive treatment in selected patients.
