title: [Rare cases of primary hydatid cyst of thyroid gland].
abstract: Our experience in surgical treatment of thyroid pathology summarizes the results of 4215 cases of nodular, diffuse, toxic and mixed goiter. In only 4 cases the hydatid cysts of thyroid gland were diagnosed. The lack of clinical data, laboratory and instrumental tests are the main reasons of impossibility of correct preoperative diagnose of such a rare form of the disease. The absence of diagnostic criteria of other thyroid pathology should prompt a surgeon to think about a possibility of a thyroid hydatid cyst.
