An Unexpected Finding of Isolated Hydatidosis of the Spleen With Concomitant Visceromegaly in an Elderly Female

Hydatidosis of the spleen is a rare zoonotic clinical entity. The occurrence of isolated splenic hydatid cysts in the absence of these cysts in any other portion of the body is referred to as primary splenic hydatidosis. It is a rare disorder that accounts for only 2% of the burden of hydatid disease worldwide. After the liver and the lungs, the spleen is the organ that is most frequently affected by this condition.
