Renal involvement by pancreatitis is uncommon. Pseudocysts in the kidneys carry the potential for massive hemorrhage if they erode the renal vessels or can cause thrombosis due to vascular compression. They are not as benign as simple cysts and need timely management. hence we report a case of renal pseudocyst that simulated as a simple cortical cyst.
