A 50 year old male has a history of chronic alcoholism. For the past month, he has had worsening abdominal pain. He now presents with marked mid-abdominal pain. Physical examination reveals right upper and left upper quandrant pain with guarding. An abdominal radiograph reveals no free air, but there is extensive peritoneal fluid with dilated loops of small bowel. An abdominal CT scan reveals a 7 to 8 cm cystic mass in the tail of the pancreas. The most probable diagnosis to explain these findings is:
A Islet cell adenoma
B Acute pancreatitis
C Pancreatic pseudocyst
D Metastatic carcinoma
E Pancreatic adenocarcinoma
