Two new cases of pancreatic hydatidosis are reported. The diagnosis of a cystic lesion of the pancreas has been easily established owing to the modern imaging techniques, especially to computed tomography. The hydatid nature has also been recognized before surgery on the basis of the epidemiological data, the existence of a calcified shell in one case, and positive serology in the other. Retrograde endoscopic cholangiowirsungography allowed specifying the relationships between the cyst and the pancreatic duct in one case. The treatment consisted in the resection of the protruding dome and in total cystectomy. There were no postoperative complications. The preoperative diagnosis of the lesion must no longer be regarded as difficult. The treatment does not raise any specific difficulties when there is no fistula into the pancreatic duct. Retrograde endoscopic cholangiowirsungography is a good means of recognizing a possible fistula and makes a scheduled surgical treatment possible.

D008279 Magnetic Resonance Imaging Non-invasive method of demonstrating internal anatomy based on the principle that atomic nuclei in a strong magnetic field absorb pulses of radiofrequency energy and emit them as radiowaves which can be reconstructed into computerized images. The concept includes proton spin tomographic techniques.

D010181 Pancreatic Cyst A true cyst of the PANCREAS, distinguished from the much more common PANCREATIC PSEUDOCYST by possessing a lining of mucous EPITHELIUM. Pancreatic cysts are categorized as congenital, retention, neoplastic, parasitic, enterogenous, or dermoid. Congenital cysts occur more frequently as solitary cysts but may be multiple. Retention cysts are gross enlargements of PANCREATIC DUCTS secondary to ductal obstruction. (From Bockus Gastroenterology, 4th ed, p4145) Cyst, Pancreatic,Cysts, Pancreatic,Pancreatic Cysts
D002760 Cholangiopancreatography, Endoscopic Retrograde Fiberoptic endoscopy designed for duodenal observation and cannulation of VATER'S AMPULLA, in order to visualize the pancreatic and biliary duct system by retrograde injection of contrast media.
