Abstract: Hydatid cysts are a public health problem in endemic areas. They mainly affect the liver and lungs. Omental involvement is rare, accounting for less than 1% of hydatid localizations. We report a rare case of a 26-year-old pregnant woman who presented with abdominal pain and sensation of a mass in the pelvic area for six months. Physical examination revealed abdominal distension and tenderness in the right iliac fossa. Omental hydatid cyst was suspected on ultrasound and confirmed by magnetic resonance imaging and management was done with cystectomy.
