A rare case of a pancreatic hydatid cyst in the pancreatic tail was successfully treated with distal pancreatectomy. The patient also underwent splenectomy and cholecystectomy due to related complications.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Surgical Pathology
Parasitology

Background:

Pancreatic hydatid cysts are uncommon, often presenting diagnostic challenges.
Echinococcus granulosus is the typical causative agent of hydatid disease.

Observation:

A patient presented with a primary hydatid cyst located in the pancreatic tail.
The spleen was observed to be displaced by the cyst.
Cholelithiasis was also diagnosed concurrently.

Findings:

Successful surgical resection of the pancreatic tail hydatid cyst was achieved via distal pancreatectomy.
Splenectomy was performed due to splenic displacement.
Cholecystectomy was necessary for gallstones.

Implications:
