title: [Pelvic echinococcus in Tunisian women. 12 cases histories (author's transl)].
abstract: We have seen 12 cases of pelvic echinococcus in the Gynaecological and Obstetric Department of the Charles Nicolle Hospital in the last 10 years. These case histories have been worked up into a thesis. The frequency of this infection in a country like ours where it is endemic, and the rarity of its localisation in the pelvis among other sites has persuaded us to report the conclusions of this study. It recalls the difficulties of the diagnosis and of the treatment of pelvic hydatid disease.
