Abstract
Because of their close anatomic relationship, cystic lesions of the pancreas are confused occasionally with those of renal origin, despite thorough clinical and roentgenographic evaluation. Two such cases are reported and others from the literature are reviewed. The radiologist must inform the urologist of the diagnostic possibility of pancreatic pseudocyst when atypical masses appear to arise from the upper pole of the kidney. The importance of selective abdominal and renal arteriography in these instances must be stressed. Even with these diagnostic refinements, however, the distinction may be impossible.
