“…Genital organs are reported to be the most affected areas in the pelvis; this can be attributed to their relatively rich bloodstream and true invasions from connective tissue of peritoneum of Douglas and suspensory ligaments (3,7,8). The involvement of the ovary and fallopian tubes, uterine cavity, parametrium, and Douglas pouch have rarely been reported (3,4,9).…”

Here, we present a rare case of a hydatid cyst in a 25-year-old woman, mimicking a uterine leiomyoma. The patient was admitted with lower abdominal pain and tenesmus, and ultrasonographic examination revealed a 10×10 cm uniloculated mass with regular borders in the myometrium. The patient was operated with an initial diagnosis of a uterine leiomyoma with cystic degeneration, which was found to be hydatid cyst during frozen section and confirmed with the identification of protoscoleces during microscopy. This rare case report indicates the necessity of considering hydatid disease in the differential diagnosis of pelvic cysts, especially in endemic regions. Keywords: Uterus, Echinococcus granulosus, hydatid cyst Received: 26.11.2015Accepted: 03.02.2017 ÖZ Burada, 25 yaşında bir kadın hastada saptanan, uterus leiomyomunu taklit eden, nadir görülen bir kist hidatik olgusu sunulmaktadır. Hastaneye alt bölgelerde karın ağrısı ve tenezm yakınmasıyla gelen hastanın ultrason ile yapılan incelemesinde myometrium sınırları dahilinde 10x10 cm'lik bir kitle tespit edilmiştir. Bunun üzerine kistik dejenerasyonla giden uterus leiomyomu ön tanısıyla operasyona alınan hastadan çıkartılan lezyonun yapılan "frozen" incelemesinde "Kist Hidatik" tanısı konulmuştur. Daha sonra bu tanı, mikroskobik incelemede protoskolekslerin görülmesiyle doğrulanmıştır. Bu oldukça nadir görülen olgu, özellikle kist hidatiğin endemik olduğu bölgelerde pelvik kitlelerin ayırıcı tanısında düşünülmesi gerektiğini işaret etmektedir.

“…This can be attributed to the fact that the genital organs are relatively highly vascularised, and other reasons could be invasion from the connective tissue of the peritoneum of Douglas and suspensory ligaments. 16,17 Dissemination via lymphatics has been implicated as a possible route to produce primary pelvic hydatid disease.…”

“…In the first two years, the incidence of recurrence reaches eight to 22%. 16 Large lesions of pelvic bones have a poor prognosis due to the high risk of sepsis. 17 In our patient, lesions in the sacral bone and sacroiliac joint were completely excised and the remaining cavity was washed out with scolicidal agents.…”
