Here we present a case of giant pancreatic pseudocyst with a unique presentation along with review of literature. Take home message: Giant pancreatic pseudocyst is rare. The treatment and prognosis depend on size, duration and presentation. Early detection and treatment prevent complications and improves prognosis.
