Area of Science:

  • Parasitology
  • Medical Imaging
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Hydatid cysts are rare in the cervico-facial region, typically affecting salivary glands or the thyroid.
  • Pterygoid muscle involvement by hydatid cysts is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A case of a patient with a progressive, non-specific tumor syndrome is presented.
  • The patient was found to have a hydatid cyst originating from the pterygoid muscle.

Findings:

  • Computed tomography (CT) scans are essential for diagnosing rare hydatid cysts.
  • Surgical removal is the mandatory treatment for cervico-facial hydatid cysts.

Implications:

  • Missed diagnosis of pterygoid muscle hydatid cysts can lead to severe complications.
