Abstract
We report a case of hydatid cyst of the pelvis in a 36-year-old woman prese nted with right adnexal cystic mass with similar cystic lesions in the live r. Laparatomy revealed a right paraovarian cystic mass densely adhered to t he uterus, to the pelvic side wall, and to the right fallopian tube. Histop athological examination of the cyst wall showed the cuticular layer of the cyst. Cystic liver lesion was later proved to be hepatic hemangioma by magn etic resonance imaging.
