Pak J Med Sci Jan ;23(5):774-6.

Echinococcosis or hydatid cyst disease is a common parasitic disease that is known to affects both humans and animals. Echinococcosis manifests as a cyst formation, is caused by E. Granulosis (unilocular cystic) and E. Alveolaris (multilocular cystic) and is an important health problem in poorly developed countries. In this paper, we report and discuss a rare case of primary hydatid disease presenting as uterus leiomyoma at 33-weeks of gestation. Hydatid cysts in the genital tract are rare and gynaecologists should be cognisant of the possibility of hydatid cysts when a mass is found in the uterus.
