Abstract
We experienced an operated case of pseudocyst of the pancreas which arised in the stump after resection of tail of the pancreas. A 74-year-old man, who had undergone resection of tail of the pancreas for a cancer of it 2 years before, visited our hospital with the chief complaints of an abdominal tumor, nausea and vomiting. The patient had mild inflammatory findings such as CRP of 4.0 and WBC of around 10, 000. From abdominal ultrasonography and abdominal CT findings, the patient was diagnosed as having a 6×6 cm pseudocyst of the pancreas. Anastomosis, stomach to cyst by transgastric approach, was carried out. On the 40th day after surgery the cyst disappeared.
