Pancreatic Head Hydatid Cyst Masquerading Cystic Pancreatic Neoplasm in a Young Female
Hydatid Cyst (HC) disease is a zoonotic infection caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. The disease poses an important public health hazard not only because it is endemic to many parts of the world but also because of migration and travel related spread. HC may develop in almost any par...
