Résumé
The hydatid cyst of the liver is a parasitic disease due to the development of echinococcosis granulosus. It is common in livestock regions in developing countries but is gaining interest in the West due to migratory flows. If it remains a benign and asymptomatic affection for a long time, its natural evolution is often enamelled of complication which can put at the risk of vital prognosis. Diagnosis and staging are based on morphological examinations, including ultrasound and CT scan. The hydatid serology retains a place especially for the detection of recurrence after hydatid cyst of the liver surgery. In addition to surgery considered up to as the radical treatment of choice, other techniques have appeared in the therapeutic arsenal in combination with oral treatment with albendazol for uncomplicated cases thus reducing the morbidity of surgery. We report a case of giant hydatid cyst associated with exophytic liver development under mesocolic associated with a peritoneal hydatidosis.
