Abstract

Cystic echinococcosis is still an important problem in Turkey. It is most commonly localized in liver and lungs while it may also be rarely observed in the pelvic region. Since it is less common in the pelvic region, it is confused with pelvic hydatid cyst, ovarian cyst and tubaovarian abscess in young ages while it may also be confused with ovarian malignancies in advanced ages. In this case report, we present a female patient G3P3 aged 60 who was found to have hydatid cyst in the lateral site of the uterus on the right tube and the surgical method applied. Pelvic hydatid cyst should be considered as a differential diagnosis in case of cysts detected in the pelvis region. We should consider laparoscopic surgery as one of the first-line choices for treatment
