We report the case of a 48-year-old man with a pseudocyst infected by Candida albicans, and review the relevant literature. The patient was successfully treated by a Roux-en-Y cystojejunostomy of the pseudocyst and adjunctive therapy with amphotericin B. Candida species isolated from a pancreatic pseudocyst or abscess should be considered pathogenic, and treated aggressively.
