[Spontaneous rupture of hydatid cyst of liver in the peritoneal cavity with intact proligerous membrane: about a case and literature review].

Rupture of hydatid cyst of liver with intact proligerous membrane is rare. We report the case of a 63 year-old female patient presenting with right hypocondrium pain without fever or jaundice. Diagnostic imaging examination showed hydatid cyst in segment IV of liver associated with pelvic cystic lesion measuring 12 cm x 06 cm. Surgical exploration revealed ruptured unilocular hydatid cyst of the liver with intact proligerous membrane and free in the peritoneal cavity. This study aims to report a new case of intraperitoneal rupture of hydatid cyst of liver with intact proligerous membrane and to highlight the diagnostic and therapeutic difficulties due to this complication.
