title: [Hydatid cyst of the uterus (apropos of a case seen at the gynecologic and obstetrical clinic of the C.H.U. of Dakar)].
abstract: Hydatic Cysts, or Hydatidosis, is the result of an intermediary host to VON SIEBOLD's Taenia Echinococcus larva turning into a cyst within the organism. Hydatic sickness combines all the toxic and allergic symptoms produced by the hydatic cyst. Echinococcosis is the anthropozoonosis of parasitic origin responsible for repercussions on the organism, development of the hydatic cyst and the hydatic sickness. It can come from dogs, sheep or cattle or, exceptionally, humans. Based on a case of hydatic cyst in the uterus, the authors underline gyneco-obstetrical aspects of the affliction. They recall diagnostic difficulties which may occur outside the endemic zones this very rare localization, and propose a practical solution based on echography.
