Hydatid disease (HD) is a parasitic infection endemic to many regions worldwide. It is commonly seen in persons practicing animal husbandry. The causative organism is Echinococcus granulosus, with the liver being the most common organ involved. Here we are presenting 4 cases of hydatid disease in different organs with ultrasound findings. Familiarity with the variable ultrasonographic appearances of hydatid diseases will provide essential advantages in making the diagnosis and may aid in diagnosing complex or atypical cases. Early imaging diagnosis of HD can significantly improve treatment outcomes, especially in patients living in endemic countries, like India.
