Abstract

An unusual case of Echinococcus cysticus infection of the submandibular salivary gland is reported. A 41-year-old female patient was admitted with a progressively increasing swelling in the left submandibular region present for two years. There was no pulmonary or hepatic involvement. The site, and that there is no evidence of pulmonary or hepatic involvement is of interest in this patient. Definitive therapy required radical surgery.
