Core Tip	Hydatid disease in atypical anatomical sites presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its rarity and variable clinical manifestations. This editorial summarizes the current evidence on cystic echinococcosis in unusual localizations, emphasizing imaging strategies, surgical management, and the limitations of serological testing. The paper also critiques a recent case series by Celik et al, underlining the importance of multidisciplinary care and standardized reporting in these complex scenarios.
