“…The clinical presentation might be asymptomatic for a long period of the incubation and is usually late diagnosed. Once symptomatic, it is often accompanied by urinary manifestations (pollakiuria, urinary retention) [13] or external pressure affecting the adjacent pelvic organs.…”

Background The parasitic disease known as the cystic echinococcosis (CE) is brought on by cysts made up of the larval forms (metacestodes) of Echinococcus tapeworms. In North Africa, it is greater in rural regions. This is unusual for a primary supravesical position. Case presentation We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who had a palpable abdominal mass with hypogastric abdominal pain. A pelvic ultrasound examination demonstrated a voluminous intra-abdominal supravesical cystic formation with clear limits and regular contours of heterogeneous anechogenic echostructure and the presence of multiple hyperechoic septa separating the cubicles (daughter vesicles) in a honeycomb pattern. Computed tomography confirmed a cystic echinococcosis stage III of the pelvis. After a laparotomy surgery with total cystectomy, the patient was discharged with prescribed albendazole 10 mg/kg/day. Cystic echinococcosis was established by histological analysis. The aim is to demonstrate that from a literature search, we think this is the first case of cystic echinococcosis of the detrusor in children. Conclusion Primary pelvic cystic echinococcosis is uncommon and even less common among children. Cystic echinococcosis must be taken into account in the differential diagnosis when there is an abdominal mass, particularly in locations where it is prevalent.

“…Patients can present with acute retention of urine, obstructive uropathy, and sometimes renal failure. 11,12 Unusually, patients may present with generalized edema, a lump in the hypogastric or lumbar regions. 13 The effective imaging modalities for the visualization of cysts for diagnosis and follow-up are abdominal ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scan.…”

Key Clinical MessageThe pelvic and peritoneal hydatidosis occurs mostly after the traumatic rupture or surgical spillage of Echinococcus from liver or spleen. The treatment is surgical aiming to eradicate local disease, preventing complications, and reducing recurrences.AbstractWe report a unique case of a 26‐year‐old male who presented with acute urinary retention and abdominal distention. Later, CT‐urography revealed peritoneal and pelvic hydatidosis behind this presentation, which was managed surgically.
