Abstract

A 24‐year‐old woman with a history of hydatid disease of the lung and brain, which was treated surgically and medically with albendazole, was admitted because of syncope. Echocardiography demonstrated a mass in the anterolateral papillary muscle and chordae tendineae. Despite negative serologic tests for Echinococcus granulosus, cytology and histology of the surgically removed mass confirmed hydatid disease. The patient was discharged and treated further with albendazole and praziquantel. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Clin Ultrasound 2011

We report an unusual case of a ruptured primary hydatid cyst of the gallbladder. The sonographic appearance-a distended gallbladder containing an intraluminal mass with undulating membranes in the neck and body-led to the diagnosis of this extremely rare condition.
