AIM: Hepatic hydatidosis is a benign, chronic parasitic disease that can affect many organs. The disease is usually asymptomatic, but the cysts that develop as a result of the disease can reach large sizes. We aimed to compare large hydatid cysts (>10 cm) and multiple cysts (>4) in giant hydatid cysts of liver in terms of 39.5 years, 25.5 kg/ m2, 11.75 cm, 9.8 days and 21.4 months, respectively. In Group 2, the patients' mean age, BMI, number of cysts and hospitalization time were 44.7 years, 27.7 kg/m2, 8.3 cysts, 8.6 days and 17.1 months, respectively (p>0.05 yaş, vücut kitle indeksi, kist çapı, hastanede kalma süresi, takip süresi; 39, 5 yıl,25, 5 kg/ m2,11, 75 cm,9,8 gün,21, 4 aydı. Grup 2'de hastaların sırasıyla ortalama yaş, vücut kitle indeksi, kist sayısı, hastanede kalma süresi, takip süresi; 44,7 yıl,27,7 kg/m2,8,3 adet,8,6 gün,17,1 aydı (p>0,05
