Echinococcosis, although eradicated in many countries, is still widespread in communities in which agriculture is domin­ant, and cystic hydatidosis is a significant public health problem in regions where echinococcosis is endemic. Hydatid cysts may be found in almost any part of the body, but most often in the liver and lungs. Other organs affected occasionally include the brain, muscle, kidney, bone, heart and pancreas. This report documents a rare case with a cystic nodule in the thyroid detected by ultra­sonography. The patient was a 40-year-old woman with an euthy­roid multino­dular goitre. Ultrasonography revealed a cystic nodule, and the ultrasonic appear­ance of the cyst liquid showed mul­tiple echoes, suggesting that the nodule could be a hydatid cyst. Bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy was performed. Post-opera­tive examination of the nodule showed it to be a solitary primary thyroid hydatid cyst.
