Pancreatic pseudocyst simulating an intrahepatic mass.

L Gould, M Khademi, M Guarnaccia

    The American Journal of Gastroenterology
    |July 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    A pancreatic pseudocyst can appear as an intrahepatic mass on liver imaging, potentially misleading diagnosis. Recognizing this imaging pitfall is crucial for accurate nuclear medicine evaluations.

    Area of Science:

    • Gastroenterology
    • Diagnostic Imaging
    • Nuclear Medicine

    Background:

    • Pancreatic pseudocysts are collections of fluid that can develop after pancreatitis.
    • Accurate diagnosis is essential for appropriate management and to avoid unnecessary interventions.
    • Imaging modalities play a critical role in differentiating pseudocysts from other intra-abdominal pathologies.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented where a pancreatic pseudocyst mimicked an intrahepatic mass on imaging.
    • Both selective hepatic arteriography and technetium-99m sulfur colloid (99mTc-SC) liver scans suggested an intrahepatic lesion.
    • Prior upper gastrointestinal series and ultrasonography had initially suggested a pancreatic pseudocyst.

    Findings:

    • The pancreatic pseudocyst presented as an intrahepatic mass lesion on multiple imaging studies.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • This case highlights a diagnostic pitfall in nuclear imaging of the liver.
  • The appearance mimicked a primary or metastatic liver tumor.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider pancreatic pseudocysts in the differential diagnosis of intrahepatic masses.
    • Awareness of this potential misinterpretation can prevent diagnostic errors in nuclear medicine.
    • Further investigation may be needed when imaging findings are atypical or discordant.
