A pseudocyst is an abnormal fluid-filled cavity which is not lined by epithelium. It is this fact that distinguishes it pathologically from a cyst, which is lined by epithelium.
Examples of pseudocysts include:
- adrenal pseudocyst
- auricular pseudocyst
- intraspinal epidural gas pseudocysts
- meconium pseudocyst
- pancreatic pseudocyst
- peritoneal CSF pseudocyst
- peritoneal pseudocyst
- pseudocysts of the germinal matrix
- pulmonary pseudocyst
- splenic pseudocyst
- umbilical cord pseudocyst
