Primary Ovarian Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report and Review of Literature

Hydatidosis is an endemic parasitosis in Tunisia. Primary ovarian localization is exceptional and doubtful. The treatment of choice is surgery consisting, when possible, in a radical laparotomic cystectomy. We report a case of a 32 year old woman affected by right ovarian hydatid cyst that has been treated by surgical cystectomy with good outcome. Etiologic factors, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis and main treatment are discussed referring to literature.
