Prevesical hydatid cyst: A case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease caused by a tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus granulosus either in its adult or larval forms. Original pelvic cysts are rare; however, the majority of abdominal and pelvic hydatid cysts are believed to result from inadvertent surgical inoculation or spontaneous rupture from a primary hepatic focus. We present a 35‐year‐old female patient who visited our facility complaining of lower abdominal pain that had persisted for the last 5 months.
