Summary

Echinococcal infection of the ovary is rare, even in endemic areas. Early diagnosis and surgical management are crucial for successful treatment and preventing recurrence, while considering fertility preservation.

Area of Science:

  • Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Parasitology

Background:

  • Echinococcal infection, commonly known as hydatid disease, is caused by the larval stage of tapeworms.
  • Ovarian echinococcosis is an exceptionally rare manifestation, posing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.

Observation:

  • A 23-year retrospective study identified seven cases of ovarian echinococcosis, with three bilateral occurrences.
  • The study highlights the rarity of this condition, even in regions where echinococcosis is endemic.

Findings:

  • Clinical presentation is variable, often complicating pre-operative diagnosis.
  • Surgical treatment aims for simultaneous removal of the hydatid cyst and the primitive cyst.
  • Potential complications include preoperative cyst rupture and impaired fertility following bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy.

Implications:

  • Systematic hydatid serology is recommended for all pelvic cysts.
  • Post-operative follow-up is essential to detect and manage recurrences.
  • Fertility preservation strategies should be considered in young women undergoing bilateral ovarian cystectomy.
