Abstract
Lymphocele can be a difficult diagnosis to
establish and may be confused for other abdominal fluid collections.
Conversely, pancreatic pseudocysts may occur inadvertently from upper
abdominal surgery and must be included in the differential diagnosis of
virtually all peripancreatic fluid collections. We report the unusual
occurrence of an unsuspected postoperative peripancreatic lymphocele
that was thought to be a pancreatic pseudocyst. In retrospect, CT
findings were evident and diagnostic. The lymphocele responded well to
percutaneous drainage.
