“…Hydatid cyst involvement in the genital tract and the uterus is extremely rare. The diagnosis of this localization is difficult due to the often misleading clinical and radiological findings, and the diagnosis is often made intraoperatively and after a histopathological examination of the surgical specimen [10]. There is no standard surgical method for its treatment.…”

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.
