In Romania, this disease has an incidence rate of 5.6 per 100,000 individuals, which is the highest in the Dobrogea region. The liver is the most affected site, accounting for 68.8% of cases, followed by the lungs at 17.2%. While cases of hydatid disease in the genital organs are rare, occurring at an incidence rate of only 0.5%, it is worth noting that cases of this disease in pregnancy worldwide are also rare, occurring at an incidence rate of 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 30,000 pregnancies.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Case report<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>A 15-year-old Eastern-European woman who was 12\u00a0weeks pregnant presented to the emergency room with acute pelvic pain, dysuria, and frequent urination. Her laboratory tests showed that she had a urinary tract infection, and pelvic ultrasound revealed that she had a mass on her right adnexa. Despite receiving treatment, her symptoms did not improve, and she had to undergo surgery to remove the mass, which turned out to be a hydatic cyst. She also had to undergo a cesarean section to deliver her baby owing to fetal distress during labor.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>This medical case report provides a detailed description of a pelvic hydatid cyst that was discovered during pregnancy. What makes this case particularly noteworthy is the cyst\u2019s unusual location\u2014it was found at the level of the right broad ligament of the uterus. Despite the complexity of the situation, the patient was able to receive effective treatment and the cyst was successfully managed with great outcomes for both the patient and the newborn. We hope that this report serves as a valuable example of how medical professionals can navigate challenging cases and provide optimal care for their patients.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s13256-024-04640-x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,7]],"date-time":"2024-07-07T00:01:52Z","timestamp":1720310512000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["An unexpected case of an adnexal hydatid cyst in a pregnant woman: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"Ana-Maria","family":"Brezeanu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7600-0571","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Drago\u0219","family":"Brezeanu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Vlad-Iustin","family":"Tica","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"9","key":"4640_CR1","first-page":"1277","volume":"44","author":"MH Kohansal","year":"2015","unstructured":"Kohansal MH, Nourian A, Bafandeh S.
