  • Title: [Rare cases of primary hydatid cyst of thyroid gland].
    Author: Kurginian RM, Ananikian PP.
    Journal: Khirurgiia (Mosk); 2008; (9):61-3. PubMed ID: 18833186.
    Abstract:
    Our experience in surgical treatment of thyroid pathology summarizes the results of 4215 cases of nodular, diffuse, toxic and mixed goiter. In only 4 cases the hydatid cysts of thyroid gland were diagnosed. The lack of clinical data, laboratory and instrumental tests are the main reasons of impossibility of correct preoperative diagnose of such a rare form of the disease. The absence of diagnostic criteria of other thyroid pathology should prompt a surgeon to think about a possibility of a thyroid hydatid cyst.
