Abstract:
Most pancreatic pseudocysts are located in or around the pancreas, but they can be found in all the potential spaces around viscera in and outside of the abdominal cavity. The complications of pancreatic pseudocysts are infection, rupture, fistula, obstruction and hemorrhage. However, an upper gastrointestinal bleeding caused by pancreatic pseudocyst is rare. Pseudocysts with complication like hemorrhage require percutaneous, endoscopic or surgical treatment. We report a case of the pancreatic pseudocyst involving duodenal wall with upper gastrointestinal hemorrhage, which was improved by conservative treatment.
