Abstract

The morphological pattern including detailed microscopical structure of abdominal calcified masses (ACM) removed from 6 patients are described. The microscopical findings suggest that these ACM are degenerate hydatid cysts in 3 cases. Complications due to ACM (peritonitis, dystocia and pain suggesting acute cholecystitis) had been the cause of emergency surgery.
