description Hydatid cyst is a significant health-threatening problem that can affect almost all organs, especially the lungs and the liver, but the possibility of its occurrence in organs such as the spleen or pelvic cavity is rare. Thus, simultaneous hydatid cysts in the spleen and pelvic cavity are probably very rare. Nevertheless, since hydatid cysts in different areas can cause various symptoms, it should be considered a significant diagnosis. This article presents a case report of a 21-year-old woman presenting with right lower quadrant abdominal pain mimicking appendicitis but found to have simultaneous hydatid cysts in the spleen and the pelvic cavity.
