During clinical examination of the patient, preoperative pelvic ultrasound revealed an ovarian cyst with benign characteristics. After oncology review, a laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was conducted; the histopathology of the cyst revealed a hydatid cyst. Postoperative abdominal computed tomography identified no other sites of infection, indicating the ovary as the primary site of infection. During follow-up no recurrence occurred.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Hydatid cysts usually have a low progression and tend to be asymptomatic. Medical treatment may be successful in small asymptomatic cysts, however a close follow-up is needed after antihelminthic treatment. Surgical management with removal of the intact cyst is the preferred method for large cysts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We report a rare case of ovarian hydatid cyst that was effectively removed intact during a laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy with no recurrence during follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Highlights<\/jats:title>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijscr.2020.03.006","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,7]],"date-time":"2020-03-07T11:41:28Z","timestamp":1583581288000},"page":"221-223","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Primary ovarian hydatid cyst in a postmenopausal woman"],"prefix":"10.1097","volume":"68","author":[{"given":"Taxiarchis","family":"Katsamagkas","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Tsakiridis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dimitrios","family":"Evaggelinos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Paraskevi","family":"Skafida","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Themistoklis","family":"Dagklis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ioannis","family":"Kalogiannidis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","reference":[{"key":"R1-52-20260114","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"289","DOI":"10.4297\/najms.2011.3289","article-title":"Isolated type I pelvic cystic echinococcosis mimicking ovarian tumor","volume":"3","author":"Vural","year":"2011","journal-title":"N.
