Abstract: | ContextPrimary hydatid disease of the pancreas is very rare and even rarer to cause pancreatitis.Case reportWe report the case of a 20-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain and an epigastric mass. A diagnosis of a pancreatic hydatid cyst was established by ultrasonography and CT scan before surgery. The treatment consisted of laparoscopic cyst evacuation with omentoplasty. The recovery was uneventful and the patient has remained symptom free so far.ConclusionsHydatid disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all cystic masses in the pancreas, especially in the geographical regions where the disease is endemic.Keyword: Primary hydatid cyst of pancreas |
