Abstract

It is extremely uncommon to have primary hydatid disease of the spleen, and much more uncommon to produce pancreatitis as a consequence. Splenic hydatid cysts are typically secondary, meaning they develop after surgery involving hydatidosis in other areas or as a result of the cysts spreading spontaneously. Here, we describe a case of a primary isolated hydatid cyst in the spleen that was managed with traditional surgery.
