| Summary: | Hydatid cyst is a general health problem that can be seen in every country, with a higher prevalence in some certain areas. Liver is the most involved organ. The disease is usually asymptomatic. The cyst may enlarge and lead to compressive symptoms or complications through opening to THE biliary system. Although medical agents and surgical interventions have long been used in the treatment of hydatid cyst, minimally invasive percutaneous interventions and laparoscopic surgical interventions are also safely applied in selected patients. In this paper, we presented a case of a giant hepatic hydatid cyst for which we preferred open surgery. |
