Abstract
Summary: (1) a case is recorded in which a hydatid cyst of the liver was extruded intact from its fibrous adventitia and, at autopsy, was found loose in the pelvis.(2) the mechanisms of rupture and subsequent survival of the cyst are discussed and compared with those of cysts in which complete rupture of the wall with escape of contents occurs.(3) the absence of hydatid fluid leakage from an intact cyst will greatly modify the prognosis.Keywords
