    Abstract:
    Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is a common problem throughout the world, but is rarely encountered in the Western Countries. The liver and lungs are the most frequently involved organs in hydatid disease. The cyst may become very large and rupture. Abdominal, pelvic and pleural dissemination due to spread of parasitic contents may follow. Splenic involvement in hydatid disease is uncommon, representing less than 2% of all human infestations by Echinococcus. We report a recurrent liver hydatidosis with secondary splenic infestation.
