Abstract

Cyst hydatid is a helminthic zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcosis granulosus infestation. It continues to be a major health problem in an inadequate hygienic environment and in areas where veterinary control is not good. The majority of cases live in rural areas. In this study, we aimed to present the diagnosis and the management of a case of a hydatid cyst initially misdiagnosed as malignancy.
