A 45-year-old postmenopausal woman from a rural area presented with a painless lower abdominal lump. Contrast-enhanced computed tomogram of abdomen revealed a well defined hypodense pelvic cystic lesion with multiple daughter cysts suggestive of hydatid disease. The liver was free of cysts on imaging. On laparotomy, the cyst cavity was found to be communicating with the fimbriated ends of both the fallopian tubes. Cyst excision along with hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy was performed. Histopathology confirmed presence of hydatid disease by demonstrating daughter cysts and laminated membrane completely filling up the tube lumens. The uterus and ovary were uninvolved. While the management is straightforward in postmenopausal women, the risk of infertility looms large in young patients with bilateral fallopian tube hydatid disease. Proper preoperative counseling is thus essential in the patients with pelvic hydatid disease to safeguard against future litigations.
