“…Serodiagnostic assays can be useful for preoperative diagnosis, although a negative test does not exclude the diagnosis of echinococcosis. TVS should always be performed in the diagnostic work‐up of pelvic masses, as it appears to be superior to TAS and computed tomography, giving much more information about the internal consistency of the masses6, 19.…”

“…Approximately 80% of pelvic echinococcal cysts involve the genital tract, with the ovary being the most common location, followed by the uterus5, 6, 12. However, any part of the pelvis may be involved, including the rectum1, 11, the small and the large bowel11, the urinary bladder1, 7, 11, bones and joints8 and the retroperitoneum9.…”

“…In humans echinococcal cysts are found most frequently in the liver (60%) and the lungs (15%), but they can be located in any part of the body. Echinococcal cysts of the pelvis are rare with an incidence varying between 0.2% and 2.25% in published series1–6. Pelvic echinococcal cysts may involve any part of the pelvis6–12 and may be associated with unusual presentations13, 14.…”

Genitourinary echinococcosis is an uncommon cyclo-zoonotic disease. It is caused by Echinococcus species. Kidneys are the common target organs in the genitourinary tract. Clinical presentation is usually non-specific. Pre-operative diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion. It should be considered in differential diagnosis of cystic mass of genitourinary tract, especially in endemic regions. Computed tomography, ultrasonography, and antibody testing aid in diagnosing and classifying the stage of the cyst. Although a number of operative techniques have been described, complete removal of germinal layer with daughter cysts without spillage of viable cyst contents with perioperative medical therapy provides an optimum chance of cure with minimal morbidity. Considering the benign nature of the disease, organ preservation is feasible in majority of the cases. The conventional open surgical treatment has evolved into minimally invasive laparoscopic, endoscopic, and even robotic techniques with concomitant improvement in postoperative and cosmetic outcome. Given the rarity of the disease, no randomized control trial comparing the treatment modalities for genitourinary hydatid exists. Moreover, long-term follow up in many cases is unavailable. Overall, the incidence of local and systemic recurrence is low.

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.
