“…Hydatid disease is endemic in regions where sheep rearing is common like the Mediterranean regions, southern and central parts of Russia, central Asia, China, Australia, South America, north Africa and east Africa [4] . However even in those regions, head and neck hydatid disease have been rarely reported and thus the disease is rarely mentioned as a differential diagnosis of head and neck swellings [5] .…”

Introduction Despite the fact that hydatid disease is endemic in some countries, its cervical location remains very rare. Presentation of case We report two cases of primary cervical hydatid disease in two children from rural areas. The imaging was not specific, since the location is rare; the diagnosis was only confirmed after surgery. Discussion Hydatid cyst is a rare pathology. Thus clinical presentation, radiological examinations, fine needle aspiration and serology can be useful to suspect the diagnosis. Conclusion Hydatid disease should be considered when dealing with slow-growing renitent neck swelling in endemic countries.

“…Hydatidosis is extremely rare in the head-and-neck region, even in endemic areas (Ghartimagar et al 2015). Patients are usually asymptomatic, and presenting symptoms and signs depend on anatomic location, size, and pressure effects caused by the growing cysts (Khalifa et al 2016). Here, we report our experience in diagnosing and managing a case of concurrent hydatidosis involving the neck and left lung.…”
