This is the first report of a case of biliopancreatic fistula complicating a pancreatic pseudocyst diagnosed correctly by transabdominal ultrasound. The diagnosis was confirmed by magnetic resonance and endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography. The fistula was treated successfully with biliary stenting. The clinical and imaging features of this exceptional complication are presented along with a brief review of the topic.
