Hydatid disease is a considerable social health problem because of its endemic distribution in many countries. Although hydatid disease is usually seen in the liver or lung, it may present anywhere in the body. Here, we present a patient with a primary torsion of a hydatid cyst attached to the greater omentum with a peduncle that caused acute abdomen. This is the first report of a primary torsion of the omentum in hydatid disease. Clinicians are urged to be cognizant of the different and rare locations of hydatid disease, especially in endemic countries.
由于包虫病在许多国家呈地方性分布，它是一个相当严重的社会健康问题。尽管包虫病通常见于肝脏或肺部，但也可能出现在身体的任何部位。在此，我们报告一例附着于大网膜的带蒂包虫囊肿发生原发性扭转并导致急腹症的患者。这是包虫病中大网膜原发性扭转的首例报告。敦促临床医生认识到包虫病不同且罕见的发病部位，尤其是在地方性流行国家。
