Key Clinical Message Collapsed membranes and daughter cysts are pathognomonic for hydatid cysts on imaging. The comma‐shaped lesions, visible within the hydatid cyst in sagittal view of MRI , are collapsed membranes. Although primary hydatid cyst of pelvic cavity is rare, clinicians should remember to include hydatid cysts in differential diagnosis of pelvic cysts.
