Uterine Hydatid Cyst : An Extremely Rare Localization

Abstract

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus. Although the first and most important site for this parasite is the liver, it can be seen in pelvic organs as well. However, the primary involvement is very rare. We report a case with a primary involvement of the uterus which was operated on and was proven by microscopic studies.
