Abstract: Hydatid cysts (echinococcosis) are caused by an infestation with larval tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus. The disease is extensively distributed worldwide, and it has been rarely reported in India. We describe the cytologic features of a case of hepatic hydatid cyst and pelvic hydatid cyst in a 45-year-old female. Computed tomography revealed multiple hepatic hydatid cyst and pelvic hydatid cyst. A left percutaneous transhepatic billiary drainage stent was performed. The aspirated bile fluid during percutaneous transhepatic drainage was greenish and hazy. The cytology smears showed round ova and free hooklets.
