| Popis: |
Hydatid disease is a worldwide public health problem, especially in endemic countries, caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosis. The pancreatic location of this disease is exceptional, representing only 1% of all possible locations, making this a widely misdiagnosed entity. We report a case of a 42-year-old man with a history of alcoholism and recurring abdominal pain, who presented to the emergency department with acute pancreatitis revealing a hydatid pancreatic cyst mimicking as a pseudocyst of the pancreas. The diagnosis was established using computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. |
