Subdiaphragmatic foregut cyst: case report, differential diagnosis, and review of the literature.
Foregut-derived cysts are uncommon lesions, particularly when located below the diaphragm. When so encountered, they enter into the differential diagnosis of upper retroperitoneal masses. We report a case of such a lesion presenting as a pancreatic mass and review the current literature on this topic.
