Hydatid disease of the seminal vesicle: a rare presentation of hydatid cyst.
Seminal vesicle belongs to the unusual sites of the hydatid cyst presentation. Even though the patient had a history of surgically treated hydatid disease of the liver, however, solitary echinococcal cyst of the seminal vesicle is a rare condition. Surgical removal of the cyst intact is the treatment of choice.
