This report details two rare cases of hydatid cysts in the submandibular gland and buccal submucosa. Surgical excision confirmed the diagnoses, with no other organ involvement found in either patient.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Parasitology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Hydatid cysts, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, typically affect the liver and lungs.
  • Cysts in the head and neck region, particularly the salivary glands and oral mucosa, are exceptionally rare.

Observation:

  • A 20-year-old woman presented with a hydatid cyst in her submandibular salivary gland.
  • A 6-year-old boy was diagnosed with a hydatid cyst in the buccal submucosa.

Findings:

  • Both cases were diagnosed post-operatively following surgical excision of the lesions.
  • Post-surgical evaluation and follow-up confirmed no involvement of other organs in either patient.

Implications:

  • Highlights the possibility of rare ectopic presentations of hydatid disease.

  • Emphasizes the importance of considering parasitic infections in unexplained head and neck masses.
  • Underscores the efficacy of surgical management for localized hydatid cysts in these unusual sites.
