A 45-year-old male farmer had noticed a swelling of the left side of his hypochondrium that persisted for six months. He had no history of severe abdominal pain, jaundice, fever, or weight loss. On evaluation, the patient was found to have hydatid cyst of the pancreas. He was managed surgically. In this case report, we emphasize the preoperative diagnosis in hydatid cyst of the pancreas.
