“…The signs and symptoms depend on the location, size and pressure exerted by the cyst on surrounding tissues. 13 Our patient could notice the problem only when the mass was significant in size. The possible differential diagnosis of such intra-abdominal cystic masses may include ovarian cyst, pancreatic cyst, mesenteric cyst, lymphangioma, intra-abdominal abscess, loculated ascites etc.…”

Primary peritoneal hydatid cyst is a rare entity. A 42 yr old parous female presented with painless lower abdominal lump since 6 months. On clinical examination an immobile abdominopelvic lump of the size of 18-20 weeks pregnant uterus with bosselated surface was noted. Ultrasound Sonography Test (USG) and Contrast Enhanced Computerized Tomography Scan (CECT scan) of abdomen and pelvis revealed large multilocular abdominopelvic cystic mass in continuity with RT ovary. Radiologically a differential diagnosis of hydatid cyst and mucinous cystadenoma was made. All relevant ovarian tumor markers were normal. Serology confirmed increased Echinococcus IgG antibodies (196.60 U/ml, ELISA). The patient underwent complete surgical excision of the lump. Histopathology and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H and E) staining of the aspirate from the cyst confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Since no other organs were involved it was diagnosed as a case of primary peritoneal hydatid cyst. The hydatid cyst may mimic an ovarian cyst, thus it is important to keep this rare entity in mind as a differential in ultrasonographically diagnosed pelvic cystic lesions.

“…Serology and imaging are the main tools for establishing diagnosis. Ultrasound is the preferred firstline imaging, but CECT give more precise information regarding the morphology (size, location, neighbor hood, and number) of the cyst (10). Magnetic Resonance Imaging is particularly useful because of its multiplaner capabilities and more detail anatomical resolution.…”

“…Patients are usually asymptomatic for years. In pelvic hydatidosis, symptoms arise late and are generally due to the pressure effects of the cyst on adjacent organs such as the rectum and urinary bladder 9. They can rarely cause obstructed labour, obstructive uropathy and renal failure apart from symptoms due to allergic reactions and secondary infections.…”

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation caused by the tapewormEchinococcus granulosus. Echinococcosis occurs worldwide and can affect multiple organs. The liver (75%) and the lungs (15%) are the most common sites of occurrence followed by the spleen, kidney, bones and brain. Peritoneal hydatidosis commonly occurs secondary to a ruptured hydatid cyst of the liver or the spleen. Primary peritoneal hydatidosis is an extremely rare entity accounting for just 2% of all intra-abdominal hydatid disease. Most patients remain asymptomatic for years before presenting with vague abdominal symptoms such as non-specific pain, abdominal fullness, dyspepsia, anorexia and vomiting. We successfully treated a 55-year-old woman with primary peritoneal hydatidosis. The role of imaging and immunological tests in the diagnosis is highlighted. The patient was managed by a combination of preoperative and postoperative antihelminthic therapy along with laparotomy, cyst deroofing, toileting and omentoplasty. The patient is asymptomatic at 1-year follow-up.
