Pancreatic pseudocysts are often caused by acute or chronic pancreatitis. [3] They may also be caused by trauma to the abdomen, with a higher frequency in children. [5] Pseudocysts are more often present in chronic pancreatitis patients than acute pancreatitis patients.
Pancreatic pseudocysts are usually complications of pancreatitis, [5] although in children they frequently occur following abdominal trauma. Pancreatic pseudocysts account for approximately 75% of all pancreatic masses. [6]
Pseudocyst of the auricle, also known as auricular pseudocyst, endochondral pseudocyst, cystic chondromalacia, intracartilaginous auricular seroma cyst, and benign idiopathic cystic chondromalacia, [1] is a cutaneous condition characterized by a fluctuant, tense, noninflammatory swelling on the upper half of the ear, known as the auricle or pinna.

Pulmonary contusion (lung bruise) from blunt chest trauma causes bleeding into the alveoli (air sacs) and can cause small cavities to form that are called traumatic pulmonary pseudocysts (TPP). This is rare, as less than 3% of lung injuries lead to TPP. It can occur at any age, but is more common in children and adults under the age of 30.
A woman who underwent a trial immunotherapy as a child for neuroblastoma — an aggressive nerve tissue tumor that occurs often in children under 5 — has since been in remission for 18 years.
However, the findings are “not surprising,” according to Jasmin Dao, M.D., Ph.D., neurologist at Miller Children’s & Women’s Hospital Long Beach and MemorialCare Long Beach Medical Center.
Symptomatic pancreatic pseudocysts are an indication a cystogastrostomy needs to be performed. Pancreatic pseudocysts are chronic collections of pancreatic fluid encased by a wall of nonepithelialized granulation tissue and fibrosis. They can be caused by leakage of the pancreatic duct, or as a result of inflammatory pancreatitis. [4]
