A requested abdominal CT scan finds: bulging abdominal fluid formation not elevated measuring 27cm/26cm/16cm seat of parietal calcification and membranes displacing the digestive structures (Figure 1, Figure 2), this formation is associated with multiple hepatic hydatid cysts, in the right hypochondrium and left of different stages.

The patient was operated and the exploration found a hydatid cyst of segment III adhered to the gall bladder and extending through a narrow path at the level of the mesocolic stage where it develops to create a huge cystic mass of 30cm long axis (Figure 3), there are also multiple cysts of different size and stage in the liver, small and large epiploon, gastric ligament and right parietocolic gutter (Figure 4).
