It most commonly affects the liver and lungs. Pancreatic hydatid cyst is very rare with incidence of 0.14%\u20132%. Presenting symptoms vary depending on the location and size ranging from mild non-specific symptoms to less commonly encountered serious pancreato-biliary complications. Due to non-specific symptoms, overlapping imaging features in the early stages and low index of suspicion, the preoperative diagnosis remains a challenge. We present the case of 23-year-old Asian male who presented with complaints of nausea, abdominal pain and vague abdominal lump for 6\u00a0months. The patient vague complaints and initial radiological investigations underscore the importance of considering pancreatic hydatid cyst as the diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) whole abdomen revealed a well defined thick walled cystic lesion in relation to the head of pancreas with undulating membrane noted within the cyst (detached endocyst). The patient underwent open partial cystectomy with omentoplasty along with anti-helminthic therapy. Histopathological findings revealed lamellated membrane with an inner, degenerated germinal layer comprising degenerated protoscolices with hooklets suggestive of hydatid cyst.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jscr\/rjaf150","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]],"date-time":"2025-03-19T12:30:03Z","timestamp":1742387403000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Primary pancreatic hydatid cyst\u2014a rare case report with review of literature"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"2025","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-3347-002X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Areeba","family":"Khursheed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shahbaz Habib","family":"Faridi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Syed Hasan","family":"Harris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bushra","family":"Siddiqui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Nafees","family":"Ahmad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery, JN Medical College, Aligarh Muslim University , Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh 202002 ,","place":["India"]}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,3,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025031912295025900_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"74","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2016.07.054","article-title":"Primary hydatid cyst of pancreas: case report and review of literature","volume":"27","author":"Ahmed","year":"2016","journal-title":"Int J Surg Case Rep"},{"key":"2025031912295025900_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"190","DOI":"10.4240\/wjgs.v6.i10.190","article-title":"Hydatid cyst of the pancreas: report of an undiagnosed case of pancreatic hydatid cyst and brief literature review","volume":"6","author":"Akbulut","year":"2014","journal-title":"World J Gastrointest Surg"},{"key":"2025031912295025900_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"401","DOI":"10.14701\/ahbps.22-031","article-title":"Isolated primary hydatid cyst of the pancreas: management challenges of a cystic masquerade","volume":"26","author":"Kothiya","year":"2022","journal-title":"Ann Hepatobiliary Pancreat Surg"},{"key":"2025031912295025900_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.5348\/ijcri-2012-06-128-RA-1","article-title":"Hydatid disease at unusual sites","volume":"3","author":"Wani","year":"2012","journal-title":"Int J Case Reposts Images"},{"key":"2025031912295025900_ref5","first-page":"575","article-title":"Hydatid cyst of the pancreas.
