Core Tip

Core tip: Thoraco-abdominal pseudocyst is rare location of pancreatic pseudocyst. Other possibilities of posterior mediastinal cyst must be considered. Internal drainage is a definitive management but will be difficult. Retrocolic retrogastric Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy is feasible option. Only two such cases were reported in literature.
