Pseudocysts are like
cysts, but lack
epithelial or
endothelial cells. Initial management consists of general supportive care.
Symptoms and complications caused by pseudocysts require
surgery.
Computed tomography (CT) scans are used for initial imaging of cysts, and
endoscopic ultrasounds are used in differentiating between cysts and pseudocysts. Endoscopic drainage is a popular and effective method of treating pseudocysts.
