Abstract
This study is the first known report of endometriosis found within hydatid cysts of Morgagni. With a rate of 11.3% of cysts of Morgagni having endometriosis within them, this study supports a practice of removing hydatid cysts of Morgagni at the time of surgery in order to achieve optimal excision of endometriosis. The rates of hydatid cysts of Morgagni and of endometriosis found within hydatid cysts of Morgagni were higher in patients with infertility. Further studies are needed to evaluate whether excising cysts of Morgagni affects clinical outcomes.
