Abstract
Introduction: Peritoneal hydatid disease (HP) is a parasitic condition secondary to seeding of the peritoneal serosa, primary or secondary, by Echinococcus granulosus larvae. Observation: Child aged 06, male, with no known history, admitted for diffuse abdominal pain lasting for 3 days in a context of fever; in whom the clinical examination revealed a peritoneal irritation syndrome. Ultrasound and abdominal CT showed the presence of a hypogastric cystic mass. Surgical exploration revealed a hydatid cyst with intact proligerous membrane free in the peritoneal cavity. Conclusion: Peritoneal hydatidosis with expulsion of a hydatid cyst from the liver with intact proligerous membrane into the peritoneal cavity is rare. Its treatment is surgical and the outcome is most often favorable.
