Background:

Multiorgan hydatid cysts, resulting from Echinococcus granulosus larval infection, represent a rare clinical entity in the pediatric population.
Involvement of multiple organs, including the lung, liver, and spleen, presents unique management challenges in children.

Purpose of the Study:

To describe the successful management of a rare case of pediatric multiorgan hydatid cysts.
To highlight the efficacy of a minimally invasive surgical approach for complex hydatid disease in children.
To review existing literature on the management of pediatric multiorgan hydatid cysts.

Main Methods:

A case report of a six-year-old child with hydatid cysts in the lung, liver, and spleen.
Surgical intervention utilizing a minimally invasive technique.

Comprehensive review of relevant medical literature.

Main Results:

Successful surgical resection of hydatid cysts from the lung, liver, and spleen using minimally invasive surgery.
Demonstration of feasibility and safety of the approach in a pediatric patient.
Identification of limited previous reports on similar pediatric cases managed with minimally invasive techniques.

Conclusions:

Minimally invasive surgery can be a safe and effective option for managing multiorgan hydatid cysts in children.
This approach may offer advantages over traditional open surgery for pediatric hydatid disease.
Further research and case reporting are warranted to establish best practices for pediatric multiorgan hydatid cyst management.
