Hydatid disease (HD) continues to be a significant health problem in areas where animal husbandry is common but no proper veterinary control exists. The involvement of the spleen in HD is rare, and isolated splenic involvement is even less common. In this case report, we present isolated splenic HD in a 26-year-old female with complaint of abdominal pain, and we discuss some of the clinical aspects of HD. Evaluation of the patient with ultrasonography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of an isolated splenic HD as a multivesicular cystic mass located near splenic hilus, measuring12×11 cm. No other organ or system involvement could be demonstrated.

Preoperative diagnosis of neurenteric cysts can be difficult because the imaging findings of a neurenteric cyst may be similar to those of an arachnoid cyst. The authors report a case of a neurenteric cyst with xanthomatous changes in the prepontine area. This 4-year-old girl was admitted to their institution with intermittent neck pain and vomiting. Computed tomography showed a hypodense mass in the prepontine area. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a cystic lesion measuring ~ 4 × 3 cm. The brainstem was displaced posteriorly, and the cisterns in both cerebellopontine angles were widened. The signal intensity of the cyst was similar to that of cerebrospinal fluid. Adjacent to the basilar artery there was a solid component of the mass that enhanced after administration of Gd. Intraoperatively, the authors found a cystic mass containing clear fluid with a yellowish solid nodule. On the basis of histopathological findings, the lesion was diagnosed as a neurenteric cyst with xanthomatous changes.
