Abstract

A 59-year-old woman with a history of abdominal injury was admitted to our hospital for abdominal discomfort. CT revealed a cyst showing a fluid-calcium level in the pancreatic body. EUS-FNA was performed to aspirate the fluid in a cyst. Aspirated was milky-white odorless material. Chemical analysis showed high amylase level in the fluid. Spectroscopic analysis revealed that the fluid mainly consists of calcium phosphate. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of milk-of-calcium in a pancreatic pseudocyst with an analysis of cystic fluid obtained by EUS-FNA.<br>
