Abstract
Hidatik hastalık larva evresindeki ekinok isimli parazit tarafından meydana gelmektedir. Hidatik hastalığın tanısında serolojik testlerin sınırlı yeri vardır. Cerrahi ve operasyon sonrası patolojik inceleme tanıda kullanılmaktadır. Hidatik hastalık tanısında görüntüleme yöntemlerinden de faydanılmakta ve pelvik kitlelerin ayırıcı tanısında hidatik kist akla gelmelidir. Bu çalışmada, 75 yaşında postmenapozal bir kadında görülen primer pelvik hidatik hastalık olgusu sunulmuştur.
Hydatid disease is caused by larval stage of a parasite named as Echinococcus. To diagnose this condition may be challenging without surgery and postoperative pathological examination due to limited value of serological studies but imaging techniques may give a clue when hydatid disease is suspected and hydatid disease shall be considered for differential diagnosis in pelvic mass. In the present case, we present a 75-year-old postmenopausal woman with pelvic hydatosis.
