    Abstract:
    Solitary primary pelvic intraperitoneal hydatid cysts are rare. We report the case of a 22-year-old women who presented with a dull ache in her lower abdomen for 2 years and increased urinary frequency over 3 months. Ultrasonography and CT indicated a solitary primary peritoneal pelvic hydatid cyst. Hydatid serology was positive. Perioperative albendazole was prescribed and laparoscopic cystectomy planned. Intraoperatively, dense adhesions to the omentum, urinary bladder, and left fallopian tube were taken down laparoscopically. A small Pfannenstiel incision was made to separate the bladder's left lateral edge and deliver the cyst externally. This report details our experience of managing this case and reviews pertinent literature.
