Abstrakt: Hydatidosis is one of the diseases caused by tapeworms that infect humans during their life cycle and still pose a major problem. A review of the medical literature has reported a few cases of serous cysts in the uterus. In most cases, pelvic cysts are asymptomatic and may sometimes cause compressive symptoms or complications when ruptured. We presented a case of a serous cyst of the uterus that was discovered through vague abdominal pain. The definitive diagnosis of the case was made during surgery when the cyst was opened, where it was removed and the cavity was closed completely. The diagnosis of a serous cyst is based on a good clinical history, with the help of serological tests, in addition to radiological investigations that help to determine the number of cysts, their location, and their surroundings, in order to choose the appropriate therapeutic intervention according to the size of the cyst and its location, for the best patient care. Hydatid cysts of the uterus are rare, but they should be included in the differential diagnosis of pelvic cysts to avoid the accidental rupture of the cyst during surgery and the occurrence of an allergic reaction that can sometimes be fatal. • Isolated primary hydatid cyst of the uterus is very rare. • Hydatid cysts are slow-growing, so they may remain asymptomatic for a long time. • The negative results of serological tests for a Hydatid cyst do not rule out its existence. • The treatment method for Hydatid cysts depends on the location and size of the lesion.
