【 摘 要 】

Despite being an extremely common disease worldwide, especially in the temperate areas, hydatid disease continues to startle by varying presentations. The current study presented a case of primary hydatid in the subcutaneous region of face of a young patient accurately diagnosed preoperatively by the characteristic of imaging findings on ultrasonography (USG) and comouted tomography (CT) and confirmed on surgery. Although it was a rare site of presentation, the radiological features were essentially the same as elsewhere in the body and could help to make correct decision to manage the patient.
