Six cases of hydatid cyst of cervico-facial glands are reported: 4 involving the salivary gland and 2 the thyroid gland, insisting on their rareness even in endemic countries. Ultra sound scanning let us suspect the hydatid nature of the liquid when there are multiple echoes or compartmentation. Cytopuncture using a fine needle which provides a crystal clear liquid is important for the diagnosis. Treatment is surgical and avoids the spontaneous evolution that may be interrupted by complications.
