Multiple Intra-Abdominal Hydatid Cysts: An Uncommon Clinical Entity
Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus [1], remains a significant parasitic concern in endemic regions. While the liver and lungs are the most frequently affected organs, multiple hydatid cysts involving diverse intra- abdominal locations are exceedingly rare. We describe a case involving multiple cysts in the liver, mesentery, and pelvis in a middle-aged female. The diagnosis was established through radiological imaging. Surgical intervention was successful, followed by antiparasitic therapy [4]. This report emphasizes the importance of clinical vigilance, comprehensive imaging, and a multidisciplinary approach in managing complex hydatid disease presentations.
