“…Thus, cysts deriving from pharyngeal bursa are inevitably located below the pharyngobasilar fascia, whereas retention cysts are superficial and located above it. Infectious nasopharyngeal cysts (bacterial or parasitic) can be exceptions to this rule when they are located in the prevertebral space [16] below the pharyngobasilar fascia.…”

Cysts and bursae of the nasopharynx are uncommon and seldom symptomatic when compared with malignant tumors of this region. However, it is noteworthy that in the presence of symptoms, a good knowledge of their radiological appearance is useful to establish the correct diagnosis. Cysts of Rathke's pouch, pharyngeal bursa of Luschka, Tornwaldt's cysts, retentional cysts of the seromucinous glands, oncocytic cysts, intra-adenoid cysts, branchial cysts, prevertebral or retropharyngeal abscess and pseudocysts of the nasopharynx will be discussed in this paper.

“…13 The serologic tests including direct hemagglutination, latex agglutination, immunoelectrophoresis, skin tests and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay are widely used to confirm diagnosis, although they are associated with false-negative and false-positive results. 11,14 In our case, serological test was not considered as the ultrasonography and CECT showed typical features of hydatid lesion and its location help in more accurate diagnosis. The ultrasound, CT, and MRI have recently become the most sensitive of diagnostic modalities.…”

Cervical involvement of the hydatid disease is rare entity occurring in less than 0.5% of patients. Hydatid disease is prevalent in Asia, Australia, and Eastern and Southern Europe. Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is often manifested by a slow-growing cystic mass. Hydatid cysts may be found in almost every part of the body; however, the lungs and liver are the most involved locations. This study reports an unusual presentation of the hydatid cyst over cervical region of neck.

Primary hydatid cyst of thyroid gland is an exceptional localization even in Morocco where echinococcal disease is endemic. A 23-year-old woman presented with multiples cystic lesions of the thyroid revealed by neck mass and dyspnea. She underwent a subtotal thyroidectomy. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst was made preoperatively and was confirmed by histological studies. Further investigation failed to identify any other evidence of systemic hydatidosis. The patient has remained asymptomatic for 24 months after surgery. The possibility of hydatid disease, though rare, should be always kept in mind, for patients with cystic lesions of the thyroid, because a needle aspiration biopsy is a potentially harmful procedure.
