Abstract

Hydatid cyst is a disease caused by Echinococcus Granulosus. The cystic form of Echinoccocus granulosus (Cyst Hydatid) is usually seen in the liver (60%). Hydatid cyst rupture may cause with a wide range of allergic reactions, from urticaria to anaphylactic shock. Erythema, puffiness and pruritus may be the only findings of cyst hydatid rupture in some cases. In the present study, we report a case of 22 year old man presented with skin rashes and diagnosed as cyst hydatid rupture. And we also discussed the cyst hydatid rupture in the light of the medical literature.
