Zusammenfassung:Key Clinical Message Pancreatic pseudocysts are rare in the pediatric population, commonly a result of trauma. Timely diagnosis and adequate management with a multidisciplinary approach are the key to avoid morbidity and mortality. Larger cysts often require surgical intervention. We report a case of a 4‐year‐old female child who presented with a massive pancreatic pseudocyst. Pseudocysts >10 cm are at an increased risk of rupture, hence require surgical intervention. Percutaneous external drainage via pigtail catheter was followed by cysto‐gastrostomy due to continuous high output. The postoperative period was uneventful.
