Abstract
Hydatid disease is caused by a cyclo-zoonotic parasite echinococus granulosus. Humans are accidental intermediate hosts of echinococus. Commonly involved organ is the liver followed by lungs, kidney and musculoskeletal system. Pelvic hydatid cyst is rarely reported. Imaging modalities such as ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are helpful in the pre-operative diagnosis. Serology, may also be helpful in the diagnosis. However a high index of suspicion is required in a case of pelvic hydatid cyst. Here we present a case of primary pelvic hydatid cyst treated by laproscopic excision.
Keywords-hydatid disease, pelvic hydatidcyst,unusual,laproscopic excision.
