“…Hydatid cysts can exhibit various clinical presentations, and their radiological appearance can also vary. Radiological diagnostic methods can be utilized for the differentiation of different types of cysts into active, inactive, or transitional, which can be crucial to deciding the course of its clinical management based on its biological activity [6]. However, patients with hydatid cysts involving multiple organs are rare and warrant more reporting.…”

Lung hydatidosis is a zoonotic infection, primarily caused by Echinococcus sp., and has a significant role in the economy and public health. Canines are the predominant hosts of these parasitic tapeworms. Lungs are the most commonly infected organ after the liver. Hepatic pulmonary blood circulation is mainly reported to transport infection to the lungs. The prevalence of hydatid disease has increased over the past decade. In addition, patients with multi-organ involvement of hydatid cysts have been reported in different parts of the world. Hydatidosis can remain asymptomatic for years after infection in some conditions, especially in cases of splenic hydatidosis. Chest radiography and computed tomography findings can be used to confirm the diagnosis of hydatid disease. Hydatid disease is, in general, managed by pharmacological therapy, but if multi-organ involvement is observed, surgery along with medical management is required. Long-term follow-up is recommended in such cases to check the recurrence of the disease.

The splenic localization of hydatid cysts is extremely rare. A 50-year-old obese female who consults with a painful and febrile syndrome of the right hypochondrium. Abdominal ultrasound and a CT scan computed tomography revealed a complete situs inversus, a mass of the right hypochondrium measuring 152 mm with membrane detachment, and infiltration of the surrounding fat, evoking a type II complicated splenic hydatic cyst. The patient was operated on in an emergency via midline laparotomy. Exploration revealed situs inversus, an angiant cyst of the spleen. Exposition of the splenic pedicle is difficult. The samples were then infected. Total splenectomy was performed. The postoperative period was unproblematic, and the patient was discharged with antibiotic and antiparasitic treatment and habitual vaccination.
