Abstract:
Hydatid cyst of the pancreas is a rare localization of hydatidosis. It raises diagnostic problems which can only be solved by section of the surgical specimen. An exceptional case of hydatid cyst of the pancreatic tail which resulted in chronic recurrent pancreatitis, and a review of the literature, enable to put hydatidosis on the list of causes of pancreatitis.
