SummaryBackground:Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infection of the liver. Disseminated intra-abdominal hydatid disease may occur with the rupture of the hydatid cyst into the peritoneal cavity, producing secondary echinococcosis, but occasional cases of primary peritoneal hydatid disease involving the pelvis have been reported. Occasionally, the cyst does not rupture, but instead enlarges, thus mimicking an ovarian tumour.Case Report:We present a 30-years-old woman with an intra-abdominal hydatid cyst that had no communication with the liver. It is therefore probably a primary case of ovarian hydatid cyst, which is very rare. An imprint smear was also taken, which revealed scolex with hooklets.Conclusions:The incidence of hydatid cyst in the female reproductive system is very low, constituting less than 0.5% of all hydatid cysts. Hence clinicians should consider hydatid cyst among differential diagnosis whenever a cystic pelvic mass is found.

presentation of brain tumors depends on the location, size of the tumors, and growth rate of the neoplasm. [1] There is a high morbidity and mortality in these tumors irrespective of their histological grade. [4] The primary brain tumors involve about two-third of all central nervous system (CNS) neoplasms. [5] According to the WHO classification, CNS tumors have extensive classification and subtypes. Glial tumors are the most common type of brain tumor and include astrocytoma, ependymoma, glioblastoma, oligodendroglioma, and others. [1,6] Nonglial tumors include embryonal tumors, choroid plexus tumors, pineal tumors, meningeal tumors, nerve sheath tumors, tumors of sellar region, hematopoietic neoplasm, and metastatic tumors. [6] Among these extensive entities, meningiomas, gliomas,

Calcified broad ligament leiomyoma is a rare benign lesion in postmenopausal age group. It causes diagnostic confusion with solid calcified adnexal mass and large bladder calculi at the pelvic region. Clinical and radiological diagnoses were confirmed by histopathology of the hysterectomy specimen. We hereby present a case of heavily calcified broad ligament fibroid in a postmenopausal woman.
