An unusual cause of dyspareunia.
Pancreatic pseudocyst is a complication of acute pancreatitis and it usually manifests with abdominal pain. We report the case of a 45-year-old man with a history of acute pancreatitis who presented with abdominal pain, dyspareunia, and a palpable inguinal mass. Computed tomography scan revealed a large loculated pseudocyst that dissected through the pelvic cavity towards the inguinal canal, compressing pelvic and inguinal structures. When a patient with a history of pancreatitis develops an inguinal mass, a dissecting pancreatic pseudocyst should be suspected.
