“…Pelvic echinococcus, which is a rare disease, accounting for 0.2-1% of the diagnosed cases, can cause non specific symptoms like menstrual irregularities, abdominal pain, swellings, infertility and urinary disturbances. 2,3 Symptoms of ovarian echinococcus often resemble that of polycystic ovaries or malignancy. 4 In this patient, irregular delayed periods were one of the main symptoms for which she had come to seek treatment.…”

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.

“…It can be confused with other ovarian cysts and tumors in the differential diagnosis. Since the symptoms may occur due to the pressure due to the increase in size, complications such as the acute abdomen or ovarian torsion may be observed with the rupture of the cyst [12]. Antiparasitic treatment alone is not sufficient and surgery is required.…”

Hydatid cyst (CH) is a zoonotic disease caused by a parasite of the cestode class called Echinococcus [1].There are 4 main genera of Echinococcus: E. granulosus, E. multilocularis, E. vogeli, and E. Oligarthus. Echinococcus granulosus causes cystic echinococcosis (CE), and this clinical form is the most common clinical form both in our country and in the world [2]. It can be involved in many organs and systems. In this study, we aimed to present atypical localized hydatid cysts such as intracerebral, ovary, thigh and uterus. All cases were confirmed by histopathological diagnosis. In conclusion, since our country is an endemic region in terms of hydatid cyst disease, it should be noted that such atypical localizations can be found in many different anatomical regions other than the liver and lung. In the treatment of the disease, appropriate surgical and medical treatment and regular follow-up are important to detect local recurrence and complications of the disease.

“…In our case it was found to be in lungs, liver, pelvis as well as neck. In vascularized bone in up to 4 % of cases, the kidneys (3 %), thyroid gland (2 %), ovary 0.2–1 % [6] , heart 0.5–2 % [7] . Prevalence of multiple pulmonary cysts and bilateral cysts is 30 % and 4 % [3] .…”
