title: Primary uterine hydatid cyst: a case report.
abstract: Echinococcosis, which is caused by echinococcus granulosus, is also known as cystic hydatid disease, unilocular echinococcosis or cystic echinococcosis. Cystic echinococcosis is an alarming public health problem in some countries. Although the liver and lung are the organs involved most commonly by the disease, it may appear rarely in other tissues as a primary disease. Here, we present a 66-year-old patient who is invoved in farm work work. A Uterine multiseptate hydatid cyst was found on radiological investigations and the patient underwent surgery. A total hysterectomy was carried out. There were no postoperative complications.
