【 摘 要 】

Morocco is considered an endemic country for hydatidosis.Peritoneal localization is frequent in its secondary form, however, primary peritoneal hydatidosis is exceptional, especially in children.We report the observation of a 14-year-old child admitted for generalized abdominal pain with fever; the radiological assessment objectified two pelvic collections.Surgical exploration revealed a huge peritoneal hydatid cyst incidentally discovered associated with peritonitis of appendicular origin.The cyst was completely removed combined with appendectomy and peritoneal lavage.The post-operative evolution was simple.
