    Author: Johnston RH, Owensby LC, Vargas GM, Garcia-Rinaldi R.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1986 Feb; 41(2):210-2. PubMed ID: 3947175.
    Abstract:
    A patient with pancreatic pseudocyst of the mediastinum is presented. Weight loss, chest or abdominal pain, and dyspnea are the most frequent symptoms of mediastinal pseudocyst. Chest roentgenogram frequently demonstrates a posterior mediastinal mass, and esophagogram always shows esophageal displacement. The diagnosis is confirmed by computerized axial tomography of the chest and abdomen. Cyst-gastrostomy is the operation of choice for this condition.
