Bilateral Primary Ovarian Hydatid Cysts – A Rare Occurence
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Primary ovarian hydatid cyst involving bilateral ovaries is an exceedingly rare occurrence. Involvement of the ovaries in hydatid disease is often secondaryin nature as a consequence of peritoneal dissemination /lymphatic spread. Primary involvement of the ovaries by the hydatid process is a very rare event. Imaging modalities like high frequency transvaginal ultrasonography (TVS) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) play a pivotal role in the detection of hydatid cysts. We report the case of a 55 years old female patient who was diagnosed with bilateral large hydatid cysts of ovarian origin based on the radiological findings on MRI, lab parameters and positive immunological tests.
