Abstract
Patient:
A 17-year old female was admitted with history of a slow growing painless thyroid nodule for the last two years. Pre-operative investigations, including thyroid scanning and aspiration of the nodule, did not help in establishing the diagnosis that was later confirmed by histological examination. Histopathological examination of the specimen revealed a hydatid cyst with daughter cyst.
Conclusion:
In endemic areas such as Iran, any growing mass or tumor should arouse suspicion of hydatid disease.
