Abstract

It is presented the case of a 45 years old female patient transferred in our clinic from Parasitology Clinic with the diagnosis of hepato-splenic hydatidosis. Preoperative echography presented 3 abdominal hydatid cysts (hepatic, splenic and free in the peritoneal cavity--greater omentum). Intraoperative exam confirmed the preoperative evaluation. The operation consisted in two ideal cystectomies associated with one partial cystectomy with evacuation and drainage. Postoperative evolution was simple.
