title: Female genitalia hydatidosis herniating to the inguinal canal.
abstract: Hydatid disease of the female genitalia presents a rare problem in gynecology formerly limited to only a few parts of the world. Primary pelvic hydatidosis is uncommon, and its pathogenesis remains unclear. We report one case of primary hydatid cysts and another case of secondary hydatid cysts of the female genitalia that herniated to the inguinal canal.
