Abstract:
Hydatidosis is a pathology that is still common. The hydatid cyst commonly involves the liver and lung. Cases of multi visceral echinococcosis with atypical localization are rare. We report the case of a 53-year-old Tunisian farmer with a multiple organ hydatidosis that included 13 hydatid cysts: the lungs, the liver, the left heart ventricle, the left kidney, the abdomen cavity, muscles (psoas, adductors), and subcutaneous gluteal area. The majority of these cysts was already treated surgically, and some were due to be removed.
