| Popis: | Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Majorly affected body regions are the liver and the lungs. However, rare localizations of the neck region, mastoids, parotid glands, orbita, and the mandible have been reported in literature. In this case, we report a large hydatid cyst of the maxillozygomatic region presenting as a slowly growing mass. |
