Abstract

Isolated splenic hydatid cyst is a very rare parasitic infection. This case report presents the diagnosis and treatment process of giant splenic hydatid cyst treated with open spleen-sparing surgery. A 27-year-old female patient presented to the general surgery clinic with abdominal complaints. On computed tomography scan, she had a mass, 150 × 130 × 100 mm in size, at the medial side of the spleen. Spleen-sparing surgery was applied to the patient, who seemed to have a splenic hydatid cyst in the preoperative examinations. The patient was discharged without complications on the fourth postoperative day. Postoperative pathology was compatible with hydatid cyst. Albendazole treatment continued for two more months postoperatively.
