case_images: A and B - Gross view of unilateral salpingo-oophorectomy specimen, showing complete replacement of ovarian parenchyma by a cyst, containing pearly white membranous structures. Transverse sections of the fallopian tube also show similar membranous material (scale bar= 5cm).

case_images: The Fallopian tube was grossly dilated and filled with similar membranous material (Figure 1).
case_images: Photomicrographs of the Cyst. A - shows a cyst, lined by thin glassy membranous structures with compressed ovarian parenchyma (H&E,100X); B - shows a lamellated structure of hyaline membrane along with eosinophilic granular material (Hydatid sand), (H&E, 200X); C - shows germinal layer with protoscolices and hooklets, (H&E,400X); D - shows protoscolices with hooklets which are acid-fast, (Ziehl-Nielsen, 400X).

case_images: On microscopic examination, sections show a cyst lined by a lamellar membrane containing protoscolices and hooklets. (Figure 2A-2C). Hooklets were better highlighted on the Ziehl-Neelsen staining as acid-fast structures. (Figure 2D) Compressed ovarian parenchyma was noted at the periphery. (Figure 2A) Sections from the Fallopian tube show similar findings.
