| dc.description.abstract |
Primary isolated omental hydatid cysts are extremely rare. Usually, omental hydatid cysts are secondary, either resulting from spontaneous spread of cysts or occurring after operations involving hydatidosis in other regions. Here, wereport a case of a primary isolated omental hydatid cyst treated with a laparoscopic approach. |

We report a 16-year-old female who admitted to hospital with right upper quadrant pain. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) revealed a cyst located between the liver and right kidney. The cyst was enucleated from the omentum and removed with a laparoscopic approach. Histopathologic examination revealed a hydatid cyst. There was no recurrence during 3 years of followup. Primary isolated omental hydatid disease should be considered in patients in endemic regions with intra-abdominal cysts. Laparoscopic surgery seems to be effective and safe for hydatid cysts in accessible locations. (C) 2011 Surgical Associates Ltd. Published by Elsevier Ltd. |
