Abstract
Hydatidosis can affect up to 5% of the population in areas of high endemicity. Its preferred location is the liver. It is a disease considered benign but can become serious due to its complications. The fistulization of a hydatid cyst (HC) into the abdominal wall is a rare complication. We report the case of a hydatid cyst of the liver fistulized into the abdominal wall.
