“…Cystic Echinococcosis is one of the earliest known animal diseases. Its origin may be traced back to Hippocrates (377 BC), who wrote in his notes (Seventh, 55): "In those whose liver is filled with water open into the peritoneum, the belly is filled with water, and they die" (Thompson et al 2017;Slimane et al 2018). Galen regarded the liver to be the primary location of CE in slaughtered animals about 200 BC.…”

“…Galen regarded the liver to be the primary location of CE in slaughtered animals about 200 BC. The existence of the cysts in animals and humans was later on widely documented (Slimane et al 2018). In the Bible Talmud of 1534, Egyptians and Babylonians characterized the cyst as a bladder filled with liquid (Sabau 2011).…”

“…The intermediate host ingests the eggs; these eggs are resistant to external conditions so they are able to remain infective after months outside the body. After ingestion, eggs hatch releasing oncospheres that get through the intestinal wall and carried with blood to different organs of the host, especially liver and lungs [2,6]. After about 12 h of ingestion, oncosphere arrives at the liver and develops into a hydatid cyst that keeps growing by the time, producing protoscoleces by asexual division.…”

“…The first history of hydatids goes back to antiquity, from Hippocrates time (377 BC) who wrote in his scripts (Seventh, 55): "In those whose liver is stuffed with water open into the omentum, the belly is filled with water, and they die'' [1,2]. In 200 BC, Galen considered the liver as the main site of hydatids in animal's slaughters.…”

Hydatids or cystic echinococcosis results from being infected with Echinococcus granulosus that found in dogs as definitive hosts and humans, sheep, goats, and pigs as intermediate hosts, mainly prevailing in regions with animal husbandry. Echinococcosis is a public health concern, especially in developing regions; this is due to the medical and economic harm to humans and the inefficiency of treatment and the difficulties of diagnosis in the early stages of infection. Our review summarizes the historical backgrounds of Echinococcus, together with the biological and epidemiological aspects of parasite, in addition to diagnosis and treatment ways.

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection transmitted by oral ingestion of Echinococcus granulosus eggs. Hydatid cyst of the genital tract is rare and the occurrence in the uterus is an extreme rarity. We present an 8-yr-old girl with complaints of swelling of lower abdomen, pollakiuria and bilateral flank pain was brought to Emergency Department of Harran University, Turkey, in Jun 2019. The patient had simultaneous hydatid cysts of the liver, mesentery and uterus. We performed abdominal exploration and completely removed the inner germinal layer of cyst through an incision made in the anterior of the uterine fundus. Then, we applied total excision to the two cysts in the right and left colon mesentery. Finally, we performed partial cystectomy to the cyst in the liver, and we removed the cyst membrane totally. In endemic regions, hydatid cysts should be considered for the diagnosis of children with cystic mass lesions. Uterine-sparing approach should be kept in mind as an option, especially in young women. Early surgical treatment of large pelvic cysts that cause obstructive uropathy may prevent the progression of renal damage.
