Pancreatic hyatid cyst mimicking a choledochal cyst
Abstract
Hydatid disease is endemic to South Africa. Radiological findings may help establish
the diagnosis and aid preoperative preparation. Unusual locations and atypical imaging
appearances may complicate the differential diagnosis. A case of isolated hydatid
disease mimicking choledochal cyst is presented. Primary hydatid disease of the pancreas
in the paediatric population is rare and this is only the sixth case repo rted in the English literature. This article highlights the importance of always considering hydatid disease in our patient population whenever a cystic mass of the pancreas is identified.
