  • Title: Hydatid cyst of the pancreatic tail. A case report.
    Author: du Toit DF, Loxton AJ, Laker L, Dreyer JF.
    Journal: S Afr Med J; 1984 Nov 17; 66(20):781-2. PubMed ID: 6387970.
    Abstract:
    A case of calcified hydatid cyst of the pancreatic tail is presented. The ultrasonographic and computed tomographic features of the lesion suggested the presence of a cystadenoma or a calcified hydatid cyst. Computed tomography proved the most useful investigation and accurately localized the lesion. A distal pancreatectomy and splenectomy were performed because on the basis of the results of pre-operative investigations and macroscopic operative findings, carcinoma of the pancreatic tail could not be ruled out with certainty. The patient made an uneventful recovery.
