ydatid cyst cause by a parasite is zoonoses diseases;
the most common site of involvement is liver and lung.
Pancreatichydatiddisease isextremely rare,withan incidence
of less than 1% of cases with hydatid disease. Preoperative
diagnosis may be difficult regarding the absence of typical
clinical or radiological signs. We report retrospective study
of cases of hydatid cysts of the pancreas from 1998 to 2013
in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
From 77 patients with cyst of pancreas, we had five hydatid
cysts. We report demographic data, clinical manifestation,
radiological feature and therapeutic modalities. The five
patients were consisted of twomen and threewomenwith an
averageageof 27yearsold. Abdominal painwasnoted inthree
cases and obstructive jaundice in two cases. All patients were
operated. All patient had imaging modalities like ultrasound
and computed tomography that showed cystic lesions in the
pancreas with differential diagnosis of pancreatic pseudo
cyst, cystic tumors or choledochal cysts. Total cystectomy
and external drainage was performed in two cases, distal
pancreatectomy in two cases and pancreatojejunostomy in
one case. Hydatid cyst of the pancreas is extremely rare even
in endemic countries; it should be considered in the difficult
diagnosis of cystic lesions of the pancreas. CT scan could be
helpful for the diagnosis. Surgery remains the treatment of
choice in pancreatic hydatid cyst.
