Answer 1

A pancreatic pseudocyst is a collection of pancreatic fluid enclosed by a fibrous wall.

Step-by-step explanation:

A collection of pancreatic fluid enclosed by a fibrous wall is called a pancreatic pseudocyst. It is formed when the pancreas is damaged and the pancreatic enzymes and tissue fluid are contained by a wall made of fibrous tissue. Pancreatic pseudocysts can occur as a complication of pancreatitis or pancreatic trauma.
