Primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst in pancreatic head region

Abstract

A hydatid cyst in retroperitoneal space is uncommon and one in the pancreatic head region is rare. We hereby report a case of a 20-year-old male presenting with a retroperitoneal hydatid cyst of the pancreatic head region. Investigations revealed no hydatid cysts in other organs of the body. The diagnosis was confirmed at laparotomy and partial pericystectomy was performed. Hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of retroperitoneal area.------------------
