Abstract
Mediastinal pancreatic pseudocysts represent a rare complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. A 68-year-old woman with a history of chronic pancreatitis was admitted with intermittent dyspnea, dysphagia and weight loss. Chest X-ray, computed tomography revealed a large paracardial pancreatic pseudocyst. These pseudocysts may lead to isolated thoracic symptoms. For accurate diagnostic and therapy planning, a multimodal imaging approach is necessary.
