Spontaneous rupture of intrahepatic pseudocyst into the inferior vena cava.
We present an extremely rare case of caudate lobe intrahepatic pancreatic pseudocyst with spontaneous rupture into the inferior vena cava (IVC). A 58-year-old male, a chronic alcoholic, presented with features of pancreatitis for which imaging was done. Ultrasound and contrast-enhanced computed tomography were carried out, which revealed intrahepatic pancreatic pseudocyst in the caudate lobe of the liver. There was suggestion of spontaneous rupture of the pseudocyst into the IVC, which was well delineated on imaging.
