“…In the literature, the treatment approach is still uncertain in patients with cyst hydatid, detected simultaneously with malignant diseases and organ transplantation. Hydatid cyst cases with simultaneous resection together with cancer surgery and surgical hydatid cyst treatment applied after a period of solid organ transplantation are discussed in the literature 14 . Hydatid cyst disease can be the cause of transplant itself 15 .…”

Hydatid cyst, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a parasitic disease which is frequently seen in endemic areas. The disease can be seen as an isolated entity or simultaneously with other diseases. Treatment of hydatid cyst in patients with malignancy as well as in patients in need of transplantation is still unclear. Although there is information in the form of case reports, a large number of patient data are needed to create a consensus on the management of these patients. We reviewed two cases with the need of autologuous stem cell transplantation which underwent liver hydatic cystectomy before transplantation.

Hydatid disease is caused by the Echinococcus tapeworm and is a zoonosis that endemically affects certain geographic areas with a high prevalence in animal husbandry. Due to globalization, the pathology can also be encountered beyond these preferred geographic areas. It predominantly affects the liver and lungs, with pancreatic localizations of hydatid cysts being rare and posing a challenge for differential diagnosis and surgical tactics. The present study aimed to provide a recent scoping of the literature on this type of localization, analyzing demographic data, therapeutic management, and postoperative outcomes. It was observed that females are more frequently affected in pancreatic hydatid localizations (p < 0.001), with the most common symptomatology represented by abdominal pain. The preferred localization was at the level of the pancreatic tail (32.5%), followed by cephalic localizations (25%). The preferred surgical approach was open surgery, with an observed preference for open surgery in specific localizations, such as the head, isthmus, and body of the pancreas (p < 0.001). Radical procedures are more commonly used than conservative ones (52.5% vs. 47.5%), and paradoxically, although less invasive, procedures such as inactivation and drainage are associated with more frequent complications (p = 0.03). This type of localization, due to the elements of local anatomical topography, requires adequate preparation in biliopancreatic surgery, considering that sometimes preoperative diagnosis is not oriented, and intraoperative records may require extensive interventions. Our research encompassed a thorough review of literature spanning the last decade using PubMed and Google Scholar databases, focusing specifically on cases involving primary hydatid cysts found within the pancreas. Thirty-three relevant articles were published between 2014 and 2024. In addition, we presented a unique case study that illustrates this uncommon occurrence.
