This report details a rare Echinococcus cysticus infection in a patient's submandibular salivary gland. The case is notable for its isolated presentation without widespread organ involvement, necessitating surgical removal.

Area of Science:

  • Parasitology
  • Surgical Pathology
  • Head and Neck Surgery

Background:

  • Echinococcus cysticus infections typically manifest in the liver or lungs.
  • Salivary gland involvement is an exceptionally rare presentation of echinococcosis.

Observation:

  • A 41-year-old female presented with a two-year history of progressive swelling in the left submandibular region.
  • Imaging and clinical evaluation revealed no evidence of pulmonary or hepatic parasitic cysts.

Findings:

  • A unilocular cyst consistent with Echinococcus cysticus was identified within the submandibular salivary gland.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the parasitic nature of the cyst.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the potential for Echinococcus cysticus to infect unusual anatomical sites.
