The human echinococcosis is the result of parasitism
by the larval stage of 4 echinococcus species, from
which E. granulosus (cystic hydatid disease) and E.
multilocular (alveolar hydatid disease) are the most
important. An endemic zoonosis in the IX Region
of Chile brings as consequence facts considered rarities
in the clinical practice as the association of
hydatid and pregnancy. A case of an 18 teenager
who is pregnant with 8 weeks of gestation more
hydatid cyst is presented with the respective literature
reviewed.
