What is another word for pseudocyst?
Pronunciation: [sˈuːdə͡ʊsˌɪst] (IPA) 
Pseudocysts are cystic structures that are not lined by epithelium, and therefore differ from true cysts, which are lined and filled with fluid or other materials. Synonyms for pseudocyst include false cyst, nonneoplastic cyst, serous cystadenoma, and non-epithelial cyst. False cyst and nonneoplastic cyst both refer to the fact that the structure is not a true cyst. Serous cystadenomas are specific types of pseudocysts that arise from the pancreas and are lined with serous epithelium. Non-epithelial cyst describes the lack of epithelial lining in general, which can occur in a variety of locations throughout the body.
