Abstract:

Diaphragmatic hydatid cyst is observed quite rarely. In this study, we would like to present a patient with preoperative left supradiaphragmatic hydatid cyst which was diagnosed when the patient was taken under operation due to liver and left supradiaphragmatic multiple intraabdominal hydatid cysts. As well as being rare in the literature, we believe the case is worth to be presented due to its atypical location and the difficulties encountered in its diagnosis.
