Prevesical hydatid cyst: A case report

Clin Case Rep. 2023 Nov 19;11(11):e8243. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.8243. eCollection 2023 Nov.

Abstract

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.

Keywords: hydatid cyst; hydatid disease; prevesical; sonography; urinary bladder.
