[Hepatic hydatid cyst and splenic hydatid cyst--their surgical treatment with splenic preservation]

The hydatid cyst located in the spleen is very rare and the association of the liver location concomitant with the spleen location is exceptional. If the elective surgical intervention for the hydatid cyst of the liver with abdominal evolution is the operation Lagrot, most of the authors preferred a splenectomy in the hydatic cyst of the spleen. It is presented the case of such an association, pointing out the role of the echography for diagnosis and the opportunity of deciding on the preservation of the spleen in treatment.
