“…In the presented case retrovesical hydatid cyst had a size of about 5-6 cm. Gandhiraman et al reported a case of large primary peritoneal hydatid cyst which was misdiagnosed as an ovarian cyst torsion [5]. Moreover, Abike et al reported a pelvic hydatic cyst which was thought to be an ovarian carcinoma [3].…”

“…Hydatid cysts located in retrovesical and periprostatic regions are rare entities and reported only as case studies in the literature [3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. Diagnosis of a retrovesical hydatid cyst should be taken into consideration particularly in patients with previous history of hydatid disease.…”

We present a large hydatid cyst located midline and posterior to prostatic gland and seminal vesicles in an asymptomatic patient. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed a large retrovesical mass and the transrectal ultrasonography idetified a degenerated hydatid cyst with “ball of wool’’ appearance. Although extremely rare, hydatid disease should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of pelvic particularly retrovesical midline masses.

A para 4, 35-year-old woman with 3 living issues and farmer by occupation presented to our hospital with symptoms of acute urinary retention for which an indwelling urinary catheter was inserted. There were no associated symptoms of hematuria, frequency, urgency or burning micturition. She also had a history of progressively increasing lump abdomen for past 6 months with dull aching pain. The patient gave a history of having undergone laparotomies twice during her childhood for a liver pathology, but she was unaware of the actual diagnosis. No records were available.A physical examination revealed a 10x8 cm cystic abdominal mass in the left lumbar region. The mass was freely mobile and nontender. There was another large abdomino-pelvic lump corresponding to 18-20 weeks' gestation, cystic, mobile from side to side, non-tender, and the lower border could not be discerned. A per vaginal examination revealed a normal-sized uterus with a large 10x15 cm cystic mass felt through the right and posterior fornix.Ultrasound revealed two large multi-septated cystic lesions on the right and left side reaching up to the epigastrium with multiple small cysts seen in both masses with no increase in vascularity, no solid areas, and no free fluid in the abdomen (Figure 1).Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed non-enhancing peritoneal and omental-based clusters of nonloculated cystic lesions in the mid abdomen (14x11x11 cm), in the left iliac fossa (6x7x7 cm), and in the pelvis (13x10x10 cm) with multiple small cysts within (Figure 2).The patient was planned for a laparotomy. Intra-operatively, the uterus was normal size. A 10x15 cm clear cyst was seen arising from the left ovary with multiple small cysts with viscous pale, yellow fluid inside them. A similar 2x2 cm cyst was seen arising from the right ovary, and a 20x10 cm cyst and a 5x6 cm cyst were seen arising from the greater omentum ( Figure 3). Total abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with omental cyst excision was performed.

Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is endemic in many regions of the world. The major primary site for the disease in adults is the liver and the secondary site are the lungs. Secondary peritoneal cysts are relatively common and expected to occur after rupture of the primary hepatic hydatid cyst. Primary peritoneal hydatid cyst disease without any other organ involvement has been previously reported, and yet it is still considered rare even in endemic areas. A case of a large primary peritoneal hydatid multicystic lesion without other organ involvement in a 25-year-old girl seen at the gastrointestinal outpatient clinic in the University of Kalamoon Medical City is presented and discussed. The disease was very extensive but surgical intervention was refused due to the patient being a young unmarried female. The patient was treated and observed over a period of ten months. She responded very well to medical treatment with albendazole. The case emphasizes the importance of hydatid disease being included in the differential diagnosis of any cyst in the abdominal cavity for patients living or coming from an area of endemic hydatid disease even without liver or lung involvement. This also goes to show that it can respond to medical treatment, which becomes even more valuable in conditions where surgical intervention might not be an option.
