Abstract

Although hydatid disease is endemic in most of the sheep raising zones of Iran, and the diagnosis of this disease is fairly easy in the majority of the cases, occasionally the disease is very difficult to diagnose. The most important factor in diagnosing hydatid disease is the awareness of its possible occurrence. The striking clinical resemblance between hydatid disease and malignant diseases of some organs makes the correct diagnosis essential. In countries where this disease is endemic, any growing mass or tumor should arouse suspicion of hydatid disease. Four cases of hydatid disease of bone, parotid, uterus and peritoneum are briefly presented, none of them diagnosed preoperatively or before laparotomy.
