Özet

Hydatidosis, caused by Echinococcus granulosus is still an important problem in endemic areas as Middle and Eastern Europe including Turkey, South America, Avustralia, New Zealand and South Africa. Hydatid disease affects more common liver and lung. Isolated splenic hydatidoses are quite rare in the medical literature. Here we report a case of isolated primary splenic hydatid cyst which is treated by splenectomy.
