  • Title: [Pelvic echinococcosis in women. Two case reports].
    Author: el Mansouri A, Moumen M, el Fares F.
    Journal: J Gynecol Obstet Biol Reprod (Paris); 1992; 21(5):503-6. PubMed ID: 1401764.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this report of two cases of pelvic hydatid disease is to recall the aetiology and pathogenesis of this endemic condition in Morocco. We point out that because it gives rise to many different clinical signs it is difficult to diagnose accurately but if the appropriate blood tests are carried out in every case with a pelvic mass the diagnosis could not be missed. It is important to treat effectively this condition which can compromise both the gynaecological and obstetrical future of the patient and that can have serious repercussions extending to the upper urinary tract. The authors, too, show how important it is to follow up these cases after operation in order to spot recurrences.
