A rare simultaneous occurrence of splenic and ovarian hydatid cyst: A case report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introduction and importanceHydatid disease is an infectious illness caused by a parasite called Echinococcus. It can affect any organ, primarily the liver and lungs. The occurrence of splenic or ovarian hydatid cyst is rare; simultaneous involvement of both is extremely uncommon. This case report provides valuable insights to clinicians, guiding them to consider a hydatid cyst as a potential differential diagnosis in the presence of a cystic mass lesion. CASE PRESENTATION: A 33-year-old female presented with abdominal pain of 10 years duration. The past medical and surgical history was negative. Ultrasound and CT scans of the abdomen showed double-layered splenic (15.3 cm × 12.8 cm × 15 cm) and pelvic (8.4 cm × 10.3 cm × 9 cm) cysts. Laparotomy revealed splenic and ovarian hydatid cysts with adhesions to surrounding structures. We performed total splenectomy and left salphingo-opherectomy, yielding excellent outcome. DISCUSSION: Hydatid cysts of the spleen and ovary are rare, with few case reports. It is usually secondary to systemic dissemination or intra-peritoneal spread from a ruptured hepatic cyst. Imaging modalities such as ultrasound and CT scans can aid in reaching a diagnosis. The standard treatment for a hydatid cyst is surgery.
conclusionThe simultaneous occurrence of hydatid cysts in the spleen and ovary is rare. The diagnosis is challenging due to nonspecific clinical presentations, necessitating a high level of suspicion. Surgery is the primary treatment for hydatid cysts.
