Fulltext PDFIntroduction: Primary hydatid cyst is rarely located in the pelvis. It can be easily misdiagnosed as ovarian neoplasm leading to inadequate preparation for the surgery. Main symptoms and important findings: Seventy nine years old postmenopausal lady presented with abdominal pain and difficulty in urination for four days. Her CA-125 levels were raised and abdominal imaging revealed large complex multiloculated ovarian mass causing bilateral gross hydroureteronephrosis along with left ureteric calculus. Therapeutic Intervention: She underwent exploratory laparotomy, removal of the mass and open uretero-lithotomy under general anesthesia, but sustained cardiac arrest in the post-operative period and succumbed to it. The mass was sent for frozen section during surgery, which revealed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Conclusion: The risk of morbidity and mortality in a case of pelvic hydatid cyst can be minimized by pre-operative suspicion along with careful dissection and appropriate postoperative management.
