The authors report a case of recurrent hepatic hydatid disease during each of three consecutive pregnancies. A multiparous woman was found to have hepatic echinococcal cysts in the forty-second week of pregnancy. Her medical history revealed that she had hepatic hydatid disease during her previous pregnancies. Misoprostol was used for labor induction and after the delivery the patient was managed percutaneously. Recurrence, significance and treatment options of this rare echinococcal disease in pregnancy are also discussed.
