Abstract:
Hydatidosis is an anthropozoonosis caused by the development of the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. It can develop in any organ; the lung and the liver are the most frequent localizations. Pelvic-genital hydatidosis is a rare and misleading form, which poses a real diagnostic problem even in endemic areas. We report 3 cases of pelvic hydatidosis collected in our department of gynecology-obstetrics I, over a period of 5 years. The gynecological and obstetrical future is at stake because of pelvic-genital localizations. This requires a precise diagnosis, an adapted treatment and a postoperative surveillance to detect possible recurrences.
