Hydatidosis is a parasitic zoonosis caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus, endemic in the Mediterranean basin, the Middle East, and South America. [1] While this pathology primarily affects the liver (50-70%) and lungs (20-30%), [2] vesicular localization is exceptionally rare, representing merely 0.1% of all hydatid localizations. [3] This rarity significantly complicates preoperative diagnosis, often leading to intraoperative discovery.
