Case Report: Primary splenic hydatid cyst
This case highlights that splenic hydatid cysts, although uncommon and often presenting with non-specific symptoms, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of abdominal pain, especially in endemic regions. Early diagnosis through the combined use of imaging and serological tests is essential for effective clinical management. Surgical intervention, based on the cyst's size and the risk of rupture, can result in excellent outcomes. This case underscores the need for heightened clinical suspicion in endemic regions to mitigate delays in diagnosis.
