Usually, splenic hydatid cysts are secondary, either resulting from spontaneous spread of cysts or occurring after operations involving hydatidosis in other regions. Here, we report a case of a primary isolated splenic hydatid cyst treated with a classical surgical approach. This case report and literature review describes the management of hydatid splenic invasion.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>PRESENTATION OF CASE:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report the case of a 28-year-old female who presented with left hypochondriac non tender swelling\/(mass). Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography (CT) revealed a cyst located in the spleen. The diagnosis was confirmed by a serological test. Surgical treatment involved a radical en bloc splenic resection (together with resection of the diaphragm and subcutaneous tissue.) The postoperative course was uneventful with three weeks of albendazole treatment. CT follow-up at six months demonstrated the absence of recurrence. Histopathologic examination revealed a hydatid cyst.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>DISCUSSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Complete aggressive surgical en bloc resection resection is the gold standard treatment of patients with hydatid cysts with the aim to remove all parasitic and pericystic tissues.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The infrequency with which it is encountered makes splenic hydatid disease a formidable early diagnostic challenge especially in nonendemic areas.
