What is the definition or description of: pseudocyst?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cyst-like: A cyst is a collection of body fluid surrounded by a wall of cellular tissue. A pseudocyst is a collection of body fluid that does not have a distinct cellular wall around it. This is most commonly described in the pancreas, with a fluid collection that forms following a pancreatic injury such as severe pancreatitis.
