Abstract
Hydatid cyst (HC) is a major health problem in endemic countries. Primary pancreatic hydatid disease (PHC) is exceedingly rare entity which may mimic other, more commonly encountered cystic neoplasms of pancreas. We report the case of a 55-year-old female who presented with abdominal pain. The treatment consisted of a distal pancreatectomy (DP) for suspected mucinous cystic neoplasm (MCN). A diagnosis of PHC was established during the surgery. Primary PHC, though exceedingly rare, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions of the pancreas in patients from endemic regions.
