Özet
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, we report 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.
