Abstract
The most common cause of a sonolucent mass in the epigastrium is a pan creatic pseudocyst; however, several other conditions can simulate a p seudocyst on ultrasonography (US) scans. This pictorial essay illustra tes the spectrum of conditions that may present in this fashion and de monstrates the use of other imaging modalities, such as colour-flow an d pulsed Doppler US, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging a nd angiography, in their evaluation.
