Abstract
The presence of fatty material in a hydatid cyst is a rare and atypical presentation that suggests communication with biliary tree. Few cases have been reported in the literature. Imaging features allow to show the presence of fatty material within the cyst thanks to the density measurement in CT, it also allows to show signs in favor of this communication. We report three cases of hepatic hydatid cysts with fatty component.
