Hydatid cyst disease is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, E.multilocularis or E.Vogli. The most common primary site is liver (75%) followed by lungs (5-15%) and other organs constitute 10-20%. Peritoneal hydatid cysts are very rare especially primary peritoneal hydatid. Secondary peritoneal hydatid cysts are relatively common, which usually occurs due to rupture of primary hepatic hydatid cyst. We present a rare case of large primary peritoneal hydatid cyst misdiagnosed as torsion of ovarian cyst that underwent Laparotomy with cyst excision and postoperative Albendazole therapy.
包虫囊肿病是一种由细粒棘球绦虫、多房棘球绦虫或伏氏棘球绦虫引起的人畜共患病。最常见的原发部位是肝脏（75%），其次是肺（5 - 15%），其他器官占10 - 20%。腹膜包虫囊肿非常罕见，尤其是原发性腹膜包虫。继发性腹膜包虫囊肿相对常见，通常是由于原发性肝包虫囊肿破裂所致。我们报告一例罕见的大型原发性腹膜包虫囊肿病例，该病例被误诊为卵巢囊肿扭转，接受了剖腹囊肿切除术及术后阿苯达唑治疗。
