INTRODUCTION

 

Hydatid cyst which caused by Echinococcus granulosus parasite is usually seen in liver and lung, it can also be seen in any organ and soft tissue. In the literature, the incidence of isolated pancreatic hydatid cyst is reported as 0.14%- 2% [1]. The complaints of the patients vary according to the size and location of the cyst. Ultrasonography and cross-sectional images show the cyst anatomically but it is insufficient to diagnose the hydatid cyst. Serological tests are not always helpful in diagnosis. In this case, we present a patient with pancreatic cyst on cross-sectional imaging and diagnosed as pancreatic hydatid cyst after endoscopic ultrasonography Fine Needle Aspiration (EUS-FNA).
