[Hydatic cyst of the pancreas - a case report]

ABSTRACT

We report a new case of hydatid cyst of the pancreas. The diagnosis has been suspected on the radiological aspect then confirmed by serology. The treatment consisted in a resection of the prominent dome associated to drainage of the residual cavity. The post operative sequences were simple. To the light of this observation and data of the literature, the different clinical aspects, para clinical and therapeutic modalities of this very rare localization of hydatidosis are discussed
