Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Majorly affected body regions are the liver and the lungs. However, rare localizations of the neck region, mastoids, parotid glands, orbita, and the mandible have been reported in literature. In this case, we report a large hydatid cyst of the maxillozygomatic region presenting as a slowly growing mass.
包虫囊肿是由细粒棘球绦虫引起的一种人畜共患感染。主要受累身体部位是肝脏和肺。然而，文献中已报道颈部区域、乳突、腮腺、眼眶和下颌骨有罕见的包虫囊肿定位情况。在此病例中，我们报告一例表现为缓慢生长肿块的上颌颧区巨大包虫囊肿。
