Abstract Introduction Mediastinal pancreatic pseudocysts represent a rare complication of acute or chronic pancreatitis. Case presentation A 55-year-old man with a history of chronic pancreatitis was admitted with intermittent dyspnea dysphagia and weight loss. Chest X-ray computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a large paracardial pancreatic pseudocyst causing cardiac and esophageal compression. Conclusion Mediastinal pancreatic pseudocysts are a rare complication of chronic pancreatitis. These pseudocysts may lead to isolated thoracic symptoms. For accurate diagnostic and therapy planning a multimodal imaging approach is necessary. Introduction Pseudocyst formation is a common complication of chronic pancreatitis. Usually these cysts are located inside and around the pancreas and most often arise due to leakage of pancreatic secretions into surrounding tissues. In some cases the connection between the cyst and the pancreas is not evident on computed
