HYDATID CYST WITH ATYPICAL LOCALIZATION. CASE REPORT
Abstract:
Cystic echinococcosis remains a major health problem, especially in endemic countries.
Although the pulmonary and hepatic localizations are most frequently involved, the hydatid cyst may
also be identified at the level of other tissues. The primary hydatid cyst of the neck is of extremely rare
occurrence even in endemic regions. We are presenting the case of a 68-year old woman with the
primary localization of the hydatid cyst in the supraclavicular region, at the level of the right
sternocleidomastoid muscle, where ideal cystectomy was performed, no postoperative complication or
relapse being highlighted.
