Abstract
One frequent side effect of chronic pancreatitis is pancreatic pseudocyst. Abdominal pain and vomiting are common complaints that the patient presents with. However, atypical manifestations of pancreatic pseudocyst still confound medical professionals worldwide, making identification challenging and ultimately increasing the risk of fatal consequences. We describe the case of a 41-year-old man who had decompensated liver cirrhosis linked to alcohol intake. The patient presented with dysphagia and yellowish skin discolouration, which, upon further investigation, turned out to be peripancreatic pseudocysts extending into the mediastinum. Diagnostic challenges arose due to the rare occurrence of a pancreatic pseudocyst located in the mediastinum. Patient was treated with a culture-sensitive antibiotic and on follow up he was doing well.
