“…Treatment with albendazole forms the mainstay of treatment with or without surgery, to kill the protoscolices and hence reduce the risk of recurrence as well as to reduce the intracystic pressure and therefore facilitate surgery by reducing the risk of spillage. 5 The duration of treatment varies from 1-3 months with administration of albendazole in a cyclical manner for 3 days followed by a 14 days gap before the next cycle and even longer duration of administration has been reported in some studies. Endometriosis along with hydatid disease is a rare combination and can cause some confusion in making the diagnosis.…”

Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease which affects the liver and lungs mostly. Involvement of the pelvic organs is rare and presents with varying symptoms which often make it difficult to diagnose. In this report, we present a case of disseminated hydatid disease with cysts in the liver, spleen peritoneum as well as a paraovarian hydatid cyst concomitantly occurring with an ovarian endometriotic cyst on the same side.

“…Ovarian echinococcosis can also mimic endometriosis [23]. Although ovarian cysts are usually uni-locular, multilocular cysts have also been described [24]. Uterine echinococcosis can present with menorrhagia, and may be misdiagnosed as molar pregnancy [25].…”

Genitourinary echinococcosis is an uncommon cyclo-zoonotic disease. It is caused by Echinococcus species. Kidneys are the common target organs in the genitourinary tract. Clinical presentation is usually non-specific. Pre-operative diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. It should be considered in differential diagnosis of cystic mass of genitourinary tract, especially in endemic regions. Computed tomography, ultrasonography, and antibody testing aid in diagnosing and classifying the stage of the cyst. Although a number of operative techniques have been described, complete removal of germinal layer with daughter cysts without spillage of viable cyst contents with perioperative medical therapy provides an optimum chance of cure with minimal morbidity. Considering the benign nature of the disease, organ preservation is feasible in majority of the cases. The conventional open surgical treatment has evolved into minimally invasive laparoscopic, endoscopic, and even robotic techniques with concomitant improvement in postoperative and cosmetic outcome. Given the rarity of the disease, no randomized control trial comparing the treatment modalities for genitourinary hydatid exists. Moreover, long-term follow up in many cases is unavailable. Overall, the incidence of local and systemic recurrence is low.
