Case description

Endoscopic image of Cyst-Gastrostomy. An alternative treatment is endoscopic drainage of pancreatic pseudocysts. Endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) has become an increasingly popular technology in evaluating cystic lesions of the pancreas since it can delineate complex wall structures and internal cyst contents. Combined with fine needle aspiration, EUS can assist in differentiating a cystic neoplasm from a pseudocyst. The presence of well-defined septation, echogenic mucin, or a mass lesion suggest a cystic tumor requiring resection rather than drainage alone.
