Intraabdominal Pseudocysts in Males in a Developing Community

Onuigbo WIB

The recent literature on the intraabdominal pseudocyst emanated as single case reports from such diverse countries as UK, Taiwan, Turkey and USA. Therefore, aided by the establishment of a histopathology data pool, this study concerns 6 cases from the Ibo Ethnic Group in Nigeria. It spanned from 1970 to 1990; the age group was from 6 years to 60 years; and the submissions were by individual physicians who realized that the lesions were simple cysts, including one who named it as pseudocyst.
