Abstract
Hydatid cyst disease is a type of zoonotic disease that is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The larval
stage of the tapeworm is infective to humans. Dogs and foxes are the primary hosts; sheep and cattle act
as intermediate hosts, while humans are the accidental hosts and represent the dead end of the life cycle of larvae. Hydatid
disease can manifest anywhere in the body. In an endemic country like India, hydatid cyst disease should be kept in mind for the
diagnosis of any cystic or solid lesion.
