Abstract :
Echinococcosis is a multisystem disease and has propensity to involve any organ,
an unusual anatomical site, and can mimic any disease process. The hydatid cyst of
the mesenteries known to occur secondary to hepatic involvement but occasional
cases of his primitive form has also been reported. We report here one such case of
primitive mesenteric hydatid cyst herniated through inguinal canal in a 5-yr-old
boy, admitted to our Pediatric Surgery Department of Children’s Hospital in Tunis,
Tunisia in 2015.
