  • Title: Hemorrhagic pleural effusion and mediastinal mass: presenting symptoms in a child with pseudocyst of the pancreas.
    Author: Standaert L, Verstappen G, Malbrain H, Van Bosstraeten B, Kerremans R, Eggermont E, Casteels-Van Daele M.
    Journal: J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr; 1983 May; 2(2):329-31. PubMed ID: 6875758.
    Abstract:
    A girl was referred to our hospital because of a right-sided recurrent hemorrhagic pleural effusion associated with a mediastinal mass. It was later found that the findings were due to a pancreatic pseudocyst with internal fistulization through a necrotic opening in the left hemi-diaphragm, and with mediastinal and right-sided pleural extension. The object of this report is to remind clinicians that a pleural effusion and a mediastinal mass may be the presentation of a pseudocyst of the pancreas, and to point out the important of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography--even for children.
