Abstract

Los pseudoquistes pancreáticos son las lesiones quísticas pancreáticas más frecuentes. Se originan como consecuencia de una pancreatitis aguda (10-20 %), una pancreatitis crónica (20-40%), postraumatismo (5-10%) o postoperatoria. Tras uno de estos episodios se forman colecciones líquidas, la mayoría de ellas resuelven espontáneamente, de lo contrario a medida que transcurren las semanas terminan siendo encapsuladas por el tejido inflamatorio formando un quiste sin pared epitelial. Independientemente de su tamaño tienen indicación terapéutica solo aquellos complicados o sintomáticos. El tratamiento inicial de elección es el endoscópico, reservando la cirugía para aquellos pacientes que han fallado estos procedimientos.Presentamos un caso de pseudoquiste pancreático por pancreatitis secundaria a hipertrigliceridemia. Esta es la tercera causa más frecuente de pancreatitis detrás de la biliar y el alcohol, con una incidencia del 1-5%.Pancreatic pseudocysts are the most frequent pancreatic cystic lesions. They originate as a consequence of acute pancreatitis (10-20%), chronic pancreatitis (20-40%), post-trauma (5-10%) or postoperative. After one of these episodes liquid collections are formed, the most of them resolve spontaneously, otherwise as the weeks pass they end up being encapsulated by the inflammatory tissue forming a cyst without epithelial wall. Independently of their size, only those that are complicated or symptomatic have a therapeutic indication. The initial treatment of choice is endoscopic, reserving surgery for those patients who have failed these procedures. We present a case of pancreatic pseudocyst due to pancreatitis secondary to hypertriglyceridemia. This is the third most frequent cause of pancreatitis behind the biliary and alcohol, with an incidence of 1-5%
