Abstract
We report two cases of hydatid cyst located in the gallbladder in two adults. Although Morocco remains an endemic area for echinococcosis, this presentation of the disease is rare. The pericyst was closely attached to the liver. A complete pericystectomy followed by cholecystectomy was performed in both cases. Histopathology confirmed the presence of a calcified hydatid cyst of the gallbladder. Perioperative adjuvant medical treatment with albendazole was administered. During the 2-year follow-up, no recurrence occurred.
