Pelvic hydatid cyst presentation as an ovarian torsion: A rare case report

Abstract

Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic parasitic disease with a global prevalence, especially in the Mediterranean region. We encountered a 37-year-old woman referred to the emergency department complaining of severe abdominal pain and spotting. After the emergency ultrasound, she underwent laparotomy with the diagnosis of missed ovarian torsion and was diagnosed as a hydatid cyst. We were prompted to report this case regarding the rarity of this cyst and its presentation.
