Popis: While hydatid disease is common in developing countries, yet occurrence of echinococcal cysts in breast are rare. Our experience encountered in two patients with hydatidosis diagnosed on fine needle aspiration (FNA) is presented because it may cause a clinical dilemma with other cystic lesions of breast. No complications were observed after FNA in both the cases. The helpful role of indirect haemagglutination (IHA) test in evaluation of the disease is highlighted.
