ABSTRACT

We reported a 13 years old male with blunt abdominal trauma  presented  with right upper quadrant pain at Emergency Department, Zagazig University Hospitals. It was diagnosed as hepatic hematoma and treated conservatively. Two weeks later, on abdominal ultrasound examination the liver showed large left lobe cyst with separated tissues and daughter cyst inside the sand consistent with Hydatid cyst (Figure 1), the case was further studied by abdominal CT that showed thick walled cyst (Figure 2) and confirmatory MRI was done (Figure 3).
