ABSTRACT
Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease caused by larvae of Echinococcus. The disease is distributed worldwide. However there are very few reports on cytology findings of hydatid disease as FNA in such cases is contraindicated. Usually hydatid disease is diagnosed on histopathology, but recently fine needle aspiration cytology of hydatid cyst is emerging and is still an issue of debate that whether it can cause dissemination of parasite in the body or not . Due to fewer studies on cytology it poses a problem in diagnosing hydatid disease on cytology. We present two case reports of hydatid cyst on cytology.
Keywords: Hydatid cyst, Hydatid disease, Echinococcus larvae.
