Hydatid disease of the parotid gland is a very rare entity and may be easily overlooked in the diagnosis of parotid masses. Although Turkey remains an endemic area for echinococcosis, involvement of the parotid gland is extremely rare. A 26-year-old man presented with primary parotid gland mass without any other organ involvement. During the first surgery, the cyst was perforated accidentally and in a short time recurrence was occurred. Maximum attention was given for the second surgery for total removal without damaging the cyst with medical treatment. The clinicians should take hydatid disease of parotid gland into consideration and great care must be given for not damaging the capsule of the cystic tumors in order to prevent recurrences.
腮腺包虫病是一种非常罕见的疾病，在腮腺肿块的诊断中很容易被忽视。尽管土耳其仍是棘球蚴病的流行地区，但腮腺受累极为罕见。一名26岁男性出现原发性腮腺肿块，无其他器官受累。在首次手术中，囊肿意外穿孔，短时间内复发。第二次手术时给予了最大程度的关注，以在不破坏囊肿的情况下进行彻底切除，并进行了药物治疗。临床医生应考虑到腮腺包虫病，必须格外小心，避免损伤囊性肿瘤的包膜，以防止复发。
