Hydatidosis: A Rare Case of Multi-organ Involvement.

Echinococcus granulosus is the tapeworm that causes hydatidosis. The liver is the most frequently impacted region, although it can also affect the spleen, lung, and peritoneum. Dogs are the definite hosts, whereas humans are the unintentional accidental hosts. The peritoneum is an unusual site for hydatid cysts. We report the case of a 42-year-old male who had abdominal distension. A CT scan revealed hydatid cysts in the liver, spleen, and peritoneum. The patient was managed conservatively with albendazole and advised for surgical intervention and removal of daughter cysts. This case highlights the uncommon presentation of hydatid disease involving multiple intra-abdominal organs concurrently. The successful management of such cases necessitates a multidisciplinary approach, encompassing accurate diagnosis, timely intervention, and comprehensive treatment strategies. Furthermore, this case emphasizes the importance of clinical suspicion in endemic regions to optimize patient outcomes and enhance quality of life.
