Abstract:
A pseudocyst of the pancreas was detected in a 44-year-old man with alcoholic chronic pancreatitis. Ultrasound-guided puncture and drainage were attempted but were unsuccessful because of unexpected bleeding from the collateral veins around the cyst wall. Consequently, a laparoscopic puncture was performed and proved to be effective.
