Abstract :

Hydatid cyst of east is a rare benign lesion which occurs in only 0.27% of cases. Hence, we report a case of left east lump in a 42 yrs old female patient. The patient presented with a lump in left east for last 3 yrs measuring 7 cm in dia. Fine Needle Aspiration cytology was performed which showed hooklet and scolices of hydatid cyst. The mass was surgically excised under general anaesthesia and sent for histopathological examination. On gross and histopathology, it was reported as hydatid cyst of east. No complication was observed postoperatively. Hence, the differential diagnosis of hydatid cyst of east should always be kept in mind in case of cystic lesion of east.
