Hydatid cyst disease can still frequently be seen in endemic regions, particularly in the Middle Asian countries, South America, and South Europe. Although hydatid cyst can be seen in all regions of the body, it most frequently affects the liver and lung. Omental hydatid cysts occur in consequence of direct spread from cysts in other regions or hydatidosis after operation. Primary omental cysts, however, are rarely seen. We presented here a 48-year-old man whom we laparoscopically treated because of primary omental hydatid cyst.
