Liver cyst hydatic (LCH) is an important parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus spp. Rupture of the biliary tract is an important and serious complication. It is often diagnosed on a suspicious clinical findings by radiologic imaging procedures. But, complicated hydatid cyst disease can show different radiological images, as they can simulate any disease. Here, we reported a case which diagnosed cholangiocellular carcinoma in primary diagnosis by ultrasonographic evaluation but diagnosed hydatid cyst in endoscopy evaluation. A 30-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital with 1 year continuous severe abdominal pain aggravated for 1 month.
