pancreatic pseudocyst
A pancreatic pseudocyst is an abnormal cavity or fluid-filled sac that forms in or around the pancreas, typically as a result of inflammation or injury to the pancreas. It is not a true cyst, but rather a collection of pancreatic enzymes, debris, and fluid that accumulates over time.
