摘要：Deaths due to rupture of hydatid cysts caused by Echinococcus granulosus encountered rarely, mostly in endemic areas. We report a 29-year-old man who died suddenly. A forensic autopsy was performed. The postmortem examination confirmed a ruptured cyst in the liver and a decision was made that death must have been caused by the anaphylactic shock due to rupture of this cyst. This case was presented in order to emphasize the medico-legal issues related to the diagnoses and treatments of the entities which cause sudden death encountered in primary health care services, and to document of the postmortem findings of a sudden death case due to a ruptured hydatid cyst which is rarely occured.
