Uterine hydatidosis: casuistry is possible by A. L. Tikhomirov, V. V. Kazenashev, A. A. Dubinin, R. R. Sadikova, M. V. Maminova, J. S. Globa, A. V. Bukharov

“…Due to the lack of pathognomonic signs as well as low prevalence rate of hydatid cysts in such anatomic sites, a differential diagnosis for relevant gynecological pathologies may be substantially complicated. Compared with common gynecological disease such as uterine fibroids, ovarian cyst and malignancies uterine hydatidosis may be identified only in 0.16 % cases.Aim: to present a clinical case of uterine hydatid cyst in order to optimize algorithms for differential diagnosis of primary pelvic echinococcosis and gynecological pathology, which is necessary for successfully conducted timely surgical treatment.Clinical case. …”
