Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation, which is endemic in the Mediterranean region. It is often located in the liver and the lungs, whereas brain stem hydatid cysts are extremely rare. We report a case of a five-year-old female who presented with hemiparesis, and after investigations, she was diagnosed with a hydatid cyst in the pons. She also had cysts in her liver and kidney. The cerebral cyst was completely removed without rupture, using gentle water-jet dissection (Dowling’s technique). She was feeling well after 4-month follow-up. We emphasize the importance of keeping hydatid cysts in the differential diagnosis of pediatric infratentorial cystic lesions.

Common Procedure

The aim of this retrospective study was to review pleural complications and results of surgical management of patient with hydatid disease. Between 2000 and 2010, 34 patients among 260 patients with hydatid disease, were diagnosed with pleural complications. Findings are presented in relative frequencies tables. The most common pleural complication was empyema in 9 patients. The most common procedure was cystotomy, evacuation and decortication in 25 patients. In endemic area, pleural complications of hydatid cyst should be considered for differential diagnosis. And because of higher morbidity and mortality, surgical treatment should be carried out before complications.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/ijls.v8i4.10893

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.

Hydatid cyst caused by Echinococcus granulosus usually involves lung and liver but can appear in other organs. We report a 29-yr-old woman presented to Fatemi Hospital, Ardabil, Iran in 2017 with progressive painful swelling of the left gluteus which in imaging showed hydatid cyst. The cyst was successfully en blocked and the patient was discharged on albendazole treatment with no recurrence in the symptoms during the first week, first and second months after surgery follow-up and in the final visit at third months. In the endemic regions, the possibility of hydatid cysts should be considered in differential diagnosis of any cystic mass.

ABSTRACT Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation by a tapeworm of the genus Echinococcus. The disease is endemic in the Middle East, the South Asia and South America. The larvae usually cause cystic lesions in the lung and liver. Hydatid cysts are known to affect the head and neck region. The presence of this cyst in the maxillary sinus is extremely rare and should be suspected in cases presenting from endemic countries.

Only 0.5 to 2% of hydatid cysts are localized in the skeleton and of these, 3 to 4% are found in the skull. In this paper, the authors report a case of primary hydatidosis involving the cranial vault revealed by a bulging mass of the forehead and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure that occurred in a 22-year-old woman who came from a rural area. Through this case and literature review, the authors analyse the epidemiological, clinical and radiological aspects of skull hydatidosis. They conclude that hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any soft tissue swelling or osteolytic lesion in the scalp of patients living in endemic areas.

Lung Hydatid

The lung is the second most commonly involved organ in humans by hydatid disease. Management of large pulmonary hydatid cysts is a great challenge for thoracic surgeons. Lung resections should be considered the last choice for huge pulmonary hydatid cysts when the lung expansion is not optimal after cyst removal. Here, we present a case of huge lung hydatid cyst involving the entire right lower lobe which was successfully managed by lung-preserving surgery in which the postoperative course showed gradual resolution of the involved lobe during a one-year follow-up.

Primary Hydatid Cyst

Omental hydatid cysts usually secondarily exist after the spontaneous, traumatic, or iatrogenic perforation of primary abdominal hydatid cysts. An isolated omental hydatid cyst in the absence of other organ involvement is very rare. Here, we present a 49-year-old male with a primary omental hydatid cyst. He was living in an urban area, but he spent his childhood in rural areas and worked with livestock. The differential diagnosis was not easy because of the negative serological test. Laparoscopic exploration revealed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst and it was removed by laparoscopy without spillage of the cyst contents. After the total excision, no albendazole treatment was prescribed. Isolated omental hydatid cysts should be in the differential diagnosis of the peritoneal cysts and its laparoscopic total excision is a feasible treatment.

Background: Ecchino coccosis or hydatid cyst disease is a common parasitic disease that is known to affect bothhumans and animals and is an important health problem in poorly developed countries. Objectives: In this histopathological retrospectivestudy, we aimed to evaluate hydatid cyst disease occurring at different sites of body and were diagnosed during last fifteen years inpathology department, Liaquat University of Medical and Health Sciences (LUMHS), Jamshoro from January 1996 to December 2010.Study Design: Descriptive retrospective study. Materials: A total of 80 cases of hydatid cyst disease of different organs diagnosed atpathology department LUMHS Jamshoro and retrieved from Histopathological record. Results: Out of these 80 cases, 56 cases (70%)were of liver, 8 (10%) of lung, 5 (6.25%) of ovary. 01 case (1.2%) thyroid, 02 cases (2.5%) submandibular region and 8 (10%) eachoccurring at thigh, forearm, palm, cheek and fronto-temporal region. Majority of cases seen in females and M/F ratio of 1:3.6 and with agerange of 8-65 years. More than 50% of cases were seen between 30-65 years of age. Conclusion: Hydatid cyst of liver was mostcommon site followed by lung. But it can also be included in differential diagnosis of solitary cystic lesions of ovary and thyroid as well.
