“…Hydatid cysts in the pelvic cavity can grow significantly, engross the pelvic area. Hydatid cysts can cause urinary tract symptoms such as urinary frequency or radiational pains such as right lower quadrant pain, as seemed in this case report [ 12 , 13 ]. The main and the most valuable and effective way to diagnose and evaluate hydatid cysts such as splenic hydatid cysts is imaging such as ultrasonography, X-ray imaging, and CT scan [ 7 , 11 ].…”

Hydatid cyst is a significant health-threatening problem that can affect almost all organs, especially the lungs and the liver, but the possibility of its occurrence in organs such as the spleen or pelvic cavity is rare. Thus, simultaneous hydatid cysts in the spleen and pelvic cavity are probably very rare. Nevertheless, since hydatid cysts in different areas can cause various symptoms, it should be considered a significant diagnosis. This article presents a case report of a 21-year-old woman presenting with right lower quadrant abdominal pain mimicking appendicitis but found to have simultaneous hydatid cysts in the spleen and the pelvic cavity.

“…Primary hydatid cysts can be further rare and are seen when a primary cyst undergoes rupture and spontaneous resolution, but the contents can enter circulation and lead to another cyst, which is now called the primary cyst. 13 In case of a secondary cyst, on the other hand, the mechanism remains the same except that the primary cyst is not completely resolved. The diagnosis of a hydatid cyst mainly involves USG, CT, and serology.…”

A Fatal and Rare Case of Hydatid Cyst in the Pouch of Douglas

Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection and a significant public health problem in low- and middle-income countries. A 79-year-old female patient was presented to the gynecology outpatient department with complaints of pain in the abdomen and difficulty in micturition, with a mass palpable per speculum. The ultrasound was suggestive of an ovarian cystadenocarcinoma, whereas computed tomography of the abdomen favored hydatid cyst with adnexal neoplasm as a differential diagnosis. Considering the contradictory findings, a frozen section was sent to confirm the diagnosis, which showed hooklets of Echinococcus granulosus/hydatid cyst under the microscope. This was a rare case of pelvic hydatid cyst mimicking ovarian malignancy and was associated with a less-preferred mode of investigation (frozen section). This article focuses on how a frozen section, despite its limitations and being expensive, can still be considered for accurate patient management.

Cyst hydatid disease is a parasitic zoonosis caused by the larvae of the tapeworm belonging to the Echinococcus species. While hydatid disease can affect almost any part of the human body, the liver and lung are the two organs where the disease is most frequently detected. Peritoneal involvement may develop following a hepatic hydatid cyst surgery or as a result of spontaneous micro-ruptures of the hepatic hydatid cyst into the peritoneal cavity. However, with only a few reported cases, primary hydatid cyst in the rectovesical pouch is extremely rare, even in endemic regions. In this study, a 37-year-old man admitted to the emergency department with frequency and nocturia diagnosed as having a primary hydatid cyst in the rectovesical pouch.
