The imaging studies showed a cystic mass in the gastro-splenic ligament extending up to below the left diaphragm with adhesion to the spleen capsule and the fundus of the stomach caused focal elevation of this part of the diaphragm. A laparoscopic surgery was performed and splenic hydatid cyst with adhesion to the stomach and the left lobe of the liver and with penetration into the left hemi thorax was observed.
