Abstract

Peritoneal hydatidosis (PH) secondary to rupture of hepatic cyst is an exceedingly rare clinical entity. We present a case of a 25-year-old male patient with PH with a hepatic hydatid cyst. The patient underwent laparotomy, total pericystectomy, segmentectomy, and cholecystectomy with a favorable postoperative course. This case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing these rare conditions. This is the first reported case in Ethiopia.
