[Pancreatic hydatid cyst: an exceptional localization].
Pancreatic hydatid cysts are rare. They account for 1% of all hydatid cysts and are extremely rare in children. This may explain the problems diagnosing this condition. We report on a new case of pancreatic hydatic cyst in an 11-year-old girl who was admitted with a previous history of abdominal pain and jaundice. We discuss the diagnostic features of pancreatic hydatid cyst and therapeutic modalities.
