An unusual localization of hydatid cyst in a patient with

AbstractHydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapewormEchinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organscould be involved very rare. Here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvementof oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. It was misdiagnosed as a multicysticright ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was shown as a primarydegenerated hydatid cyst which was also unusual. Although pelvic echinococcalcysts rarely occur, the gynecologists should be consider, and the possibility of ahydatid cyst when they find a pelvic cystic mass, especially in areas where the diseaseis endemic.
