Abstract
Hydatid disease (human echinococcosis, hydatidosis) is a parasitic infestation caused by Echinococcus granulosus. This case reports an unusual case of ovarian and splenic hydatid cysts: A 65 years old woman was referred for pelvic mass associated to chronic pelvic pain, vaginal ultrasonography showed a well-defined image of a large multilocular cystic lesion, abdominal ultrasonography showed a multilocular cystic splenic lesion, and another multi-partitioned mass in the right adnexal region, abdomio-pelvic scan showed a splenic hydatid cyst type III with another cyst in the vesico-uterine fold, hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy with partial omentectomy and splenectomy were performed, histological examination of the surgical piece was consistent with hydatid cyst.
