Primary hydatid cyst of the pancreas represents a rare clinical entity. The clinical presentation depends on the location of a hydatid cyst in the pancreas. A hydatid cyst located in the head of the pancreas usually manifests as obstructive jaundice due to the extrinsic compression of the common bile duct. A case of a hydatid cyst of the head of the pancreas in a 4-year-old female is reported. She presented with abdominal pain and jaundice. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography scan of the abdomen revealed a cystic mass at the lower end of the common bile duct, which mimicked a choledochal cyst. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst was made intraoperatively, with postoperative findings revealing a hydatid cyst at the head of the pancreas that was compressing the lower end of the common bile duct. After cystectomy, no recurrence was seen in follow-up.

Primary hydatid disease of the pancreas is rare. The authors report a 3-year-old girl who had a cystic mass in the head of the pancreas with no other viscera involved. At laparatomy the entire endocyst was totally extracted from the surrounding pancreatic parenchyma. The postoperative course was uneventful. She is currently disease-free with a follow-up of 5 years. Only four other pediatric cases have been reported in the English literature.
