A large pseudocyst that ruptures, becomes infected, or hemorrhages requires drainage of the cyst cavity. |
Cysts may feel firm as the fluid may be tightly contained within the cyst capsule. |
The archeopyle is created by loss of an operculum that is distinguished from the adjacent cyst surface by a distinct groove. |
The cyst contents can be mucinous, hemorrhagic, or necrotic with clear to turbid fluid. |
Our patient had a spontaneous onset hematic cyst without any history of previous trauma or surgery. |
The cyst wall disintegrates in the small intestine, releasing motile trophozoites. |
