Sumario:Pancreatic pseudocysts are cystic cavities which are localized collection of pancreatic secretions, rich in amylase and other enzymes, present in and around pancreas, encased in a false epithelial lining of fibrous or reactive granulation tissue. Extension of a pancreatic pseudocyst into the mediastinum is rare. We are reporting a case of a 5-year-old child with mediastinal pancreatic pseudocyst which was successfully drained by cystojejunostomy.
