Objectives: Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by the cestode Echinococcus granulosus. The present study focused on the multi-diagnosis of a clinical cases including, histopathology, clinical presentation of the patient, and the molecular diagnosis of the tissue.

Methods: We collected the hydatid cyst diseases tissue samples from patients attending hospitals in Gaza Strip. Investigations are included the clinical presentation of each patient, histopathological studies, and molecular diagnosis.

Clinical presentations: These are 15 clinical cases of hydatidosis of hydatid cysts collected from the five governorates of the Gaza Strip. A total of 46.7% of the examined cases were liver affected. The sequencing and analyses revealed one genotype of E. granulosus (G1) responsible for these huma hydatid cysts.

Conclusion: Hydatid cyst disease occurrence is confirmed in the examined human tissue samples and belong to genotype G1.
