  • Title: [Pseudocysts of the pancreas: diagnostic and therapeutic protocols. Notes on 10 treated cases].
    Author: Schiavone M, Fiorenza CE.
    Journal: Minerva Chir; 1989 Apr 30; 44(8):1239-47. PubMed ID: 2668790.
    Abstract:
    Pancreatic pseudocysts are a rare pathology in pancreas diseases. Their incidence has been increasing in recent years and the man-woman ratio is equal. The aetiopathogenetic mechanism is attributable to dilation of the pancreatic ducts with later formation of a cyst due to blocked flow. Symptomatology is bound up prevalently to the presence of an expanding abdominal mass. Surgery is the therapy of choice.
