CABRAL MELGAREJO, Dennis Guzman et al. Slenic hydatid cyst: laparoscopic resolution. Rev. Nac. (Itauguá) [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.2, pp.88-93. ISSN 2072-8174.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rdn2022.dic.02.088.093.

Splenic hydatid disease is a rare entity that represents between 0.5-6 % of abdominal locations, being the third location in frequency after liver (50-80 %) and lung (25 %)1. The importance of its knowledge is based on in the possibility of diagnostic confusion with other splenic cystic processes and in the need for a complete examination of affected patients to rule out other locations of the process2,3.

Keywords : hydatid; splenic; cyst; zoonosis; Echinococcus.
