Abstract
Neck cysts can be classified as congenital, infectious-inflammatory, and neoplastic. Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus, is usually seen in the liver and lung and, is rare in the head and neck region even in endemic areas. If not treated, a life-threatening condition may be encountered. In this study, a case of hydatid cyst operated due to a cystic lesion with a diameter of approximately 8 cm in the neck was presented by reviewing the literature.
期刊介绍：
Boreas has been published since 1972. Articles of wide international interest from all branches of Quaternary research are published. Biological as well as non-biological aspects of the Quaternary environment, in both glaciated and non-glaciated areas, are dealt with: Climate, shore displacement, glacial features, landforms, sediments, organisms and their habitat, and stratigraphical and chronological relationships.
Anticipated international interest, at least within a continent or a considerable part of it, is a main criterion for the acceptance of papers. Besides articles, short items like discussion contributions and book reviews are published.
