Extremely rare pediatric omental and pelvic hydatid cysts with associated omental torsion: A case report

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Hydatid disease rarely involves the omentum or deep pelvic regions, particularly in pediatric patients. We report a case of an 8-year-old girl with concurrent omental and deep pelvic hydatid cysts, complicated by omental torsion. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CECT) and magnetic resonance imaging accurately localized the cysts, differentiated them from adnexal structures, and revealed the omental torsion. Surgical excision confirmed hydatid cysts at both sites. This case underscores the diagnostic value of multimodality imaging in rare extrahepatic hydatid presentations in children.
