Hydatid disease is endemic in Morocco specially in the liver but we report a specific localisation of a hydatic cyst in a young 34-year-old woman who consulted for abdominal pain and mucocutaneous jaundice whose imaging showed that the liver was the site of a heterogeneous image in the segment IV suggestive of a type IV hydatid cyst disrupted in a distended gallbladder, containing corrugated membranes and a biliary dilatation with debris material within the common bile duct. The liver test showed a cholestasis syndrome and a cytolysis syndrome, so we performed a perikystectomy with cholecystectomy after medical preparation. Postoperative recovery was uneventful.
