| Summary: | <p>Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection of liver. One of frequent reason of liver mass is hydatid cyst in<br>tropical and rural countries. In some cases rapidly grow up of cyst mimic liver masses. A sixty years<br>old female admitted our hospital with abdominal pain. Abdominal ultrasound showed 74x75 mm in<br>segment two, 115x91 mm in segment six and 115x62 mm in segment four type four hydatid cysts.<br>Patient was admitted for surgery; pericystectomy and omentoplasty performed. In multiple cysts<br>surgical management is sometimes difficult. It is better to drain all the cysts at the same time. Surgical<br>interventions can prevent complications and spread of Echinococcosis also gives chance of curative<br>treatment.<br></p> |
