- Abstract
Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by ekinococcus at endemic areas. It often locates in liver and lung. Primary peritoneal placement is quite rare. It was detected as a result of the exploration of 7-years-old girl with acute abdominal pain, nausea and fever. Pelvic and peritoneal hydatid disease is quite rare. It often occurs as a result of primary liver cyst perforation through transmission. Especially in endemic areas where the animal husbandry is common, should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with intra-abdominal mass and during the operation to prevent transmission and anaphylaxis, must be prepared before the operation.
