“…The specificity rate is also reported to be 83% to 88. It has been reported that the combined use of ELISA and IHA tests boosts the overall sensitivity, reaching up to 94.7% [7]. Since the imaging study was also not supporting a diagnosis of hydatid disease, no further serological test was done for our patient.…”

Hydatid cyst is an endemic disease especially in underdeveloped and developing countries affecting mostly the liver and lungs. However, a wide range of unusual anatomical sites in the abdomen has been reported, including the spleen, pancreas, kidney, and ovaries as well as dissemination within the abdominal and pelvic cavities. The location of hydatid disease in the colon is very infrequent, and very few cases have been presented. The hydatid cysts located in other sites are mostly due to rupture or extrusion of primary liver or splenic cysts. In this article, we present a case of primary left-sided colon hydatid cyst, resected laparoscopically with the affected intestinal segment. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst was made by macroscopic and microscopic examination.

“…There are a few cases of hydatid cyst in adult age group reporting gynecological organ involvement such as ovary, fallopian tube and uterus in the literature (2). The ovaries are the most commonly involved pelvic organ in women and the uterus is the second (3). There is only one reported case of an ovarian hydatid cyst in childhood (4).…”

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection transmitted by oral ingestion of Echinococcus granulosus eggs. Hydatid cyst of the genital tract is rare and the occurrence in the uterus is an extreme rarity. We present an 8-yr-old girl with complaints of swelling of lower abdomen, pollakiuria and bilateral flank pain was brought to Emergency Department of Harran University, Turkey, in Jun 2019. The patient had simultaneous hydatid cysts of the liver, mesentery and uterus. We performed abdominal exploration and completely removed the inner germinal layer of cyst through an incision made in the anterior of the uterine fundus. Then, we applied total excision to the two cysts in the right and left colon mesentery. Finally, we performed partial cystectomy to the cyst in the liver, and we removed the cyst membrane totally. In endemic regions, hydatid cysts should be considered for the diagnosis of children with cystic mass lesions. Uterine-sparing approach should be kept in mind as an option, especially in young women. Early surgical treatment of large pelvic cysts that cause obstructive uropathy may prevent the progression of renal damage.
