Primary pancreatic hydatidosis, a rare condition, was diagnosed in a young boy presenting with abdominal pain. Imaging revealed a cystic mass, supported by eosinophilia and elevated IgE levels, confirming the diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Parasitology
  • Pediatric Surgery

Background:

  • Primary pancreatic hydatidosis is an exceptionally rare parasitic infection, with reported incidence rates below 0.2%.
  • Hydatid disease typically affects the liver and lungs, with pancreatic involvement being exceedingly uncommon.

Observation:

  • A seven-year-old boy presented with abdominal pain and a palpable tumor.
  • Abdominal ultrasound revealed a 6 cm multilocular cystic mass in the pancreatic tail.

Findings:

  • Laboratory investigations showed significant eosinophilia (16%), elevated immunoglobulin E (IgE) levels, and a high specific immunofluorescent antibody titer (1/6000).
  • These findings are indicative of a parasitic infection, consistent with hydatidosis.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering rare parasitic infections in pediatric abdominal masses.
  • Early diagnosis and appropriate management are crucial for favorable outcomes in pancreatic hydatidosis.
