Abstract
Pancreatic pseudocysts can extend beyond the boundaries of the pancreas due to the enzymatic nature of the fluid they contain. However, the extension of a pseudocyst beyond the retroperitoneum, into the psoas muscle, and within the subcapsular space of the left kidney is extremely rare, with only a few documented cases in the medical literature. In this report, authors present a case of a 36-year-old male with chronic pancreatitis and atypical pseudocysts that were left untreated due to his negligence. Secondary infection led to the formation of a psoas abscess, perinephric abscess, and a renal abscess. Complications such as intracystic haemorrhage, infection, and rupture of a pseudocyst are uncommon and can be fatal, if treatment is delayed. Pseudocysts in atypical locations, complicated by a secondary infection, are extremely rare and must be timely and effectively managed.
