Summary: | To report a case of primary pelvic hydatid cyst presenting as an adnexal mass and having undergone a laparoscopic excision
The clinical records of the patient were reviewed.
The clinical and radiological findings demonstrated a right adnexal 5x6x5 cm unilocular cystic mass. Laparoscopic dissection of the dense adhesions between the mass, the right ovary and the omentum were performed. Laparoscopic excision of the mass was performed without rupturing the cyst and placing it in a bag. Histological examination confirmed the hydatid disease. Neither complications nor recurrence was observed during the follow up.
Laparoscopy is used safely for treatment of pelvic haydatid cysts after taking measures to prevent intra‐abdominal spillage. |
