Abstract

Occurrence of hydatid cyst in the face is rare. We report the case of a 24-year old male with a slow growing swelling in the floor of the mouth. The patient’s history revealed chest drainage for a ruptured pulmonary abcess, 04 years ago, without documented bacteriological diagnosis. Clinical examination found a non-inflammatory and encapsuled swelling lifting the tongue without adenopathy. MRI scan showed a well-encapsuled multivesicular cyst (05 X 04 cm). Needle aspiration for cytology and hydatid serology were inconclusive. Complete blood count (CBC) and chest radiography revealed no abnormality. The cyst was entirely removed, histopathological examination conclusion was compatible to hydatid disease, wich confirmed our thoughts regarding the patient’s history.
