We present the very rare clinical case of a 54-year-old man who was diagnosed on CT and MRI with a mixed cystic-soft tissue pancreatic lesion with septa and calcification, looking like a malignant tumor of pancreas. The preoperative diagnosis was uncertain because of unclear features of the mass. This tumor from the body and tail of pancreas was excised by means of laparotomy. The final diagnosis of a complicated hydatid cyst was confirmed on morphological examination.
