“…Retrovesical hydatidosis is unusual even in endemic areas [18] . Pathogenesis includes rupture of cysts with peritoneal dissemination, haematogenous/lymphatic seeding or spread through rectal mucosa to the pelvic and perivesical venous plexus [19] .…”

Background: Large pelvic masses pose unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to varied aetiology, paucity of characteristic imaging features, lack of therapeutic algorithms and surgical difficulties in resection inside the narrow confines of the pelvis with close proximity of vital structures. Methods: Records of 22 patients with large pelvic masses in the last six years were analysed. Their demographic and clinical features were noted, along with imaging features, preoperative biopsy, surgical procedure, intraoperative difficulties, complications, adjuvant therapy and outcome. Results: There were 14 men and 8 women with a median age of 45 years. Presenting symptoms were abdominal mass, pain, lower urinary tract symptoms, urinary retention and constipation. Imaging was mostly unable to determine the organ of origin of the tumour. Histopathology revealed pelvic fibromatosis (2), chondrosarcoma (1), liposarcoma (1), haemangioendothelioma (1), lymphangioma (2), fibroleiomyoma (1), leiomyosarcoma (3), schwannoma (4), malignant nerve sheath tumour (1), rectal gastrointestinal stromal tumour (1), retrovesical hydatid cysts (3), sacral chordoma (1) and Ewing’s sarcoma (1). In 5 patients complete excision was not possible because of extension into vital structures. Fifteen patients were alive at 1–5 years of follow-up. Conclusions: Urologists, being the ‘gatekeepers of the pelvis’, are usually involved in the management of large pelvic masses. Good outcome can be achieved with careful surgical planning.

“…Most of the cases reported in literature have been managed by open total or partial pericystectomy (27,28). Location within the narrow confines of the pelvis along with dense adhesions to surrounding structures may render dissection a formidable task.…”

“…Reported symptoms associated with the bladder include urinary frequency, urgency, retention and pain on micturation. 7,8 In a recent review of the previously reported cases with seminal vesicle hydatidosis, symptomatology included dysuria, colic and hydatiduria, 3 difficulty and a sense of burning during urination, 4 frequency and acute urinary retention. 5 Syncope is the presenting symptom of the currently presented case and there were no other complaints related to the genitourinary system.…”

Hydatid disease of the urogenital system, especially of the retroperitoneum and seminal vesicles, is a very rare condition. We report a case of hydatid disease located in the liver, retrovesical region and seminal vesicle that was diagnosed incidentally while investigating the etiology of syncope.Transabdominal and transrectal ultrasonography revealed hypoecoic multicystic masses which had thin septations and walls in the liver, retrovesical region and seminal vesicle. Abdominal computed tomography examination showed multicystic low attenuation masses in the same region. Pelvic magnetic resonance image findings revealed multiple cystic masses in the retrovesical region and the right seminal vesicle. In conclusion, the diagnosis of hydatid disease should be kept in mind with patients who have cystic lesions in seminal vesicle and retrovesical region.
