Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation caused by Echinococcus, most commonly Echincoccus granulosus. Liver is the most common location followed by lungs. Hydatid involvement of gall bladder is a very rare entity, which masqueraded as gall bladder cancer. Here, we attempt to highlight the relevance of this rare disease and discuss this unique case of a 60-year-old male, who presented with gall bladder mass, abdominal pain, and vomiting. The patient was eventually diagnosed as Hydatid disease. The patient has been treated on medical management and has shown improvement. The manuscript has discussed diagnosis and management of disease along with review of literature.

“…The disease may present as hepatic mass mimicking a malignant neoplasm [29]. A total of 155 patients with hydatid disease were identified by Mathur [30] in 6 years from 2010 to 2015 and found that there were 96 male (61.93%) and 59 female (38.06%) patients. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay found that 72 (5.03%) of 1,429 samples from various districts of the Kashmir region (North India) tested positive for E. granulosusspecific Ig G antibody [31].…”

Echinococcus granulosus is an important dog tape worm whose larval stage causes hydatidosis in animals and man. The objective of this review on hydatidosis is to get a comprehensive knowledge about the disease and it had included the data of past 10 years collected from various scientific articles. Food animals such as sheep, goat, cattle etc. act as its intermediate host. It is a major parasitic zoonosis having high economic loss and public health significance and high worldwide prevalence rate. There are different strains of E. granulosus from G1 to G10 which is distributed worldwide infecting various animals and humans. The tapeworm in dogs causes fewer ill effects but in food animals it affects liver, lungs and spleen which lead to condemnation of meat thereby affecting economic value of meat. In humans it causes severe disease mainly cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis in addition to two forms of neotropical echinococcosis namely polycystic echinococcosis and unicystic echinococcosis. Diagnosis and treatment of hydatidosis in animals is practically difficult and uneconomical but more promising in human medicine due to advanced techniques. The role of stray dogs in the maintenance of the life cycle of parasite is important hence health education and public awareness are very essential in the control of echinococcosis.
