“…4,5,10,17,18 Retrorectal or presacral region is an area of embryologic fusion and remodeling and thus is a common site for embryologic remnants from which neoplasms and cysts may arise. Epidermoid and dermoid cysts, enterogenous cysts, and tailgut cysts are development cysts that should be ruled out from hydatid disease of this region particularly in endemic areas.…”

“…It most often involves the liver (63%), lungs (25%), muscles (5%), and bones (5%) [ 4 ]. Involvement of organs in the small pelvis is extremely rare, at 0.2–2.25% of cases [ 5 ], mainly secondary to dissemination of hydatidosis from another organ [ 6 – 14 ].…”

Hydatidosis is a zoonosis caused by the larval form of a cestode of the species Echinococcus granulosus, the canine tapeworm. It can affect any organ of the human body except nails, hair, and cornea. It most often involves the liver, lungs, muscles, and bones. Involvement of organs in the small pelvis is extremely rare, mainly secondary to dissemination of hydatidosis from another organ, and the ovaries are most often involved, followed by the uterus. We present a 41-year-old Caucasian woman with complaints of mild pain, heaviness in the small pelvis, and a fibroid detected by ultrasound examination. She had reported for 2 previous operations for echinococcus cysts, and we found cystic formations in the liver and pelvis by computed tomography. It was decided that it is a recurrence of echinococcosis with a new cyst both in ovary and uterus. A hysterectomy with adnexectomy was performed, and one year later there is no evidence of recurrence of echinococcosis. In the presence of a formation in the small pelvis, one should always think about echinococcosis, especially if there is evidence of previous manifestations of the disease. Diagnosing this disease is extremely important for proper treatment. As rare as uterine involvement is, this possibility should not be overlooked.

“… 3 In 80% of involved genital tracts, the ovary and uterus are the most commonly affected organs. 4 In this regard, pelvic hydatid cysts are usually caused by the rupture of cysts in other areas of the abdomen, primarily the liver. 5 Most patients are asymptomatic, but as the cyst grows in the pelvic cavity, various symptoms occur due to the compressive effect of the cyst on nearby organs.…”

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.

Ultrasonographic Appearance of an Echinococcus Ovarian Cyst

Abstract: Ovarian echinococcus cysts may have a peculiar ultrasonographic pattern at high-frequency (7.5-MHz) vaginal ultrasonography. Such high-frequency ultrasonography can be a useful tool in the diagnosis of the disease.
