This is a case report of young nulliparous women presented to us with lower abdominal pain and heaviness in lower abdomen. On physical examination slightly mobile pelvic lump & ultrasound shows a multiseptated pelvic mass with no other cystic lump in abdominal viscera. Patient was subjected to exploratery laprotomy which confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst arising from posterior wall of uterus. Cyst was marsupalize and uterus preserved. Patient was put on chemotherepy after surgery for six month and no recurrence found. The clinical presentation of this cyst is also very nonspecific, and it is difficult to diagnose the cyst before surgery. The gynecologists should be aware of possibility of primary hydatid cyst of the pelvic cavity and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic pelvic masses, especially in areas where the disease is endemic.
