Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic disease caused by sensu lato, the metacestode of a tapeworm parasite of high medical importance. Infection of the parasite leads to the development of echinococcal cysts, and the spleen is a rarely infected organ. A 46-year-old woman who was born and who resides in Sardinia, Italy, was referred to the Echinococcosis outpatient clinic at the University Hospital of Sassari (Sardinia, Italy) for a pain in the left flank.

Echinococcosis, or hydatid disease, is an endemic disease that affects many regions worldwide and remains a significant public health issue in areas with high endemicity. It is caused by an infection with the dog tapeworm *Echinococcus granulosus*, which is transmitted to humans either through direct contact with dogs or by ingesting contaminated food. This disease primarily affects internal organs, particularly the liver and lungs.
