Diagnostic Challenge

A tailgut cyst is a rare developmental lesion and usually is located in the retrorectal or presacral space. Extrahepatic hydatid disease has been reported in several locations including the pelvis and it often poses a diagnostic challenge. There are very few reported cases of primary perineal hydatid cysts. We present the multimodality imaging findings of a tailgut cyst and concurrent perineal hydatid disease in a 32-year-old male patient.

Pulmonary Hydatid Disease

Patients with echinococcus infection are mostly asymptomatic. The documented rates of simple pneumothorax in patients with pulmonary hydatidosis ranged from 2.4% - 6.2%. We report a case of a forty-year-old male patient who was referred to our hospital for management of recurrent pneumothorax. A video assisted thoracoscope (VATS) was first introduced which showed a large amount of pus in the pleural cavity and a perforated hydatid cyst. The VATS was converted to an open thoracotomy and decortication was done with removal of the ruptured hydatid. The patient made an unremarkable recovery and was discharged after one week with empyema tubes. The empyema tubes were gradually removed over a period of six weeks. An extraordinary number of management options for pulmonary hydatid disease have been offered. This case report highlights surgical treatment as the management opti

Liver is most commonly involved organ in hydatid cyst. Primary splenic hydatid cysts are rare; we report a case of an isolated giant hydatid cyst of spleen in a 17-year-old man. The diagnosis was confirmed by imaging findings and serology. Partial cystectomy was performed with success. In cystic lesions of spleen, hydatid cyst should be kept in patrician’s mind in the differential diagnosis. Although splenectomy is the gold standard for treating hydatid disease of the spleen, in young patient spleen-preserving surgery seems give good results.

Primary Hydatid Cyst

Hydatid disease, mostly caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infestation of the liver. In this type of infectious disease, humans are an intermediate host. Although most common sites are liver (70%) and lungs (25%), this parasitic tapeworm can be seen at any region of the body. Intraperitoneal cysts are usually secondary to the rupture of primary cysts, but primary hydatid cysts of the mesentery are very rare (%2). Herein, we aimed to report a giant primary hydatid cyst in a male patient, treated surgically without any complications.

Hepatic Hydatid

Hepatic hydatid cysts are benign cysts in the liver that are the result of parasites infection. They are caused by echinoccocus granulosis or multilocularis. They caused several symptoms like pain, obstructive jaundice, and sepsis. Hydatid cyst can be complicated to cystobiliary communication (CBC) which can be frank CBC or occult CBC. Medical, endoscopic, percutaneous and surgical treatments are different approaches to treat hydatid cyst. Here we report a case of hepatic hydatid cyst with cystobiliary communication, causing obstructive jaundice and treated with sphincterotomy and insertion of biliary stent through endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP).

Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease which occurs due to infectivity with larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. The disease is chronic and cysts can be lodged in different organs. It has cosmopolitan distribution and impact health and economical challenges for many countries throughout the world. The location of the disease is mostly in the liver and lungs. Hydatid disease of breast is extremely rare. A case report of 24 year female with the diagnosis of the hydatid breast is described in detail. The patient presented with painless lump in the upper inner quadrant of right breast of two months duration. History of trauma, pus discharge, itching, weight loss, fever or hormonal therapy were absent. The patient was diagnosed preoperatively as cysticercosis right breast by fine needle aspiration cytology based on the laboratory results conducted outside the hospital. However, histopathology confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid breast. It is the second diagnosed case in Nepal. Therefore, accurate information on the distribution of the disease is first step for the control and prevention. Only few reports are published in the literature about breast hydatid cyst.Thus, we want to emphasize the importance of keeping hydatid disease in differential diagnosis of cystic breast lesions, particularly in endemic region, where the disease could mimic fibroadenoma, phyllodes tumors, chronic abscesses.Journal of Nepalgunj Medical College Vol.12(1) 2014: 41-42

Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease, which is most commonly caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It is endemic in many parts of the world. However, Hydatid disease can occur in almost any part of the body. Isolated omenal hydatid cyst is one of the least common sites. A case of very unusual omental hydatid cyst is presented here which was diagnosed in the Department of Radiology & Imaging, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, and subsequently confirmed by histopathology.

Peritoneal Hydatidosis

Primary peritoneal hydatidosis is an extremely rare ( 2% of all intra-abdominal hydatid disease). Peritoneal hydatid disease is secondary to liver or splenic involvement following spontaneous rupture or accidental spillage during surgery. Methods: We made a retrospective study based on the analysis of the database of the I Surgery Clinic of the University Emergency Hospital „St. Spiridon ”from Iași, with peritoneal hydatid cyst, including all the data from the medical files. Between 1991 and 2021 a total of 18 patients were operated for primary (3) or secondary peritoneal cysts (15). During the same period, 1002 cases of hydatid cyst with various locations were treated in the Iasi Surgery Clinic: 805 abdominal (714 hepatic, 43 splenic, and 18 peritoneal) and 197 extra abdominal (thoracic, cervical, muscular, retroperitoneal, etc.). The incidence of hydatid diseases has decreased over time from 35 cases per year to 18 cases per year. In the year of the COVID pandemic (2020) the incidence decreased to 10 cases per year.Most of the patients with peritoneal hydatidosis were asymptomatic or had atypical symptoms. The diagnosis was based on the preoperative history, rupture of the cysts, serology, ultrasound and computer tomography. Open surgery was the procedure of choice (16 cases) with conservative (13 cysts) and radical (3 cysts) methods. The laparoscopic approach was performed in 2 cases of primary peritoneal hydatid cysts. Results: The outcome of surgery was good without postoperative mortality or severe morbidity and the recurrence rate was 22.2%. Conclusions: Peritoneal hydatidosis is a rare disease; it is important to prevent the disease. Clinical signs and symptoms are nonspecific for a long time.We suspect this diagnosis in the case of abdominal cystic tumors especially in endemic regions. The diagnosis is made based on the history of operated hydatid disease, clinical signs, imaging and immunological tests. Total surgical excision of hydatid cysts or partial perichystectomy after evacuation of the inactivated cyst is the chosen treatment. Proper perioperative medical treatment prevents recurrence. Long-term follow-up is necessary to detect and treat any recurrence.

Significant Health

Hydatid cyst is a very significant health problem in India. As recorded in the literature, majority of hydatid cysts are found in the liver followed by the lungs with an incidence rate of 60-70% and 10-15% respectively. Cystic hydatid disease in bones is seen in less than 4% of cases, with majority presenting in the spine. In this case report we have discussed primary intraspinal extradural hydatid cyst with paravertebral extension (dumbbell shaped) in lumbar vertebra which is a rarity. The diagnosis was established intraoperatively based on the findings with a follow up and review of literatures, along with its management.
