Abstract

Primary extra hepatic hydatid cysts are rare, and primary splenic hydatid cysts even more so, constitute 2% to 3.5% of all hydatid cysts. We did a retrospective study from Jan 2022 to April 2023, and only two cases of hydatid cysts were recorded. There was only one case of isolated primary splenic hydatid cyst. The diagnosis was made per-operatively as ultrasonography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography were nonconclusive. Surgery was the mainstay of diagnosis and treatment.
