Hydatid disease is prevalent in most sheep-raising countries in Asia , Australia , East, and Southern Europe. Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is often manifested by a slow growing cyst mass. Hydatid cysts may be found in almost every parts of the body. However the lungs and liver are the most involved locations. Due to the vital cycle of the parasite the thyroid gland is an uncommon site of infection even in the countries where the disease is endemic. However, hydatic origin was suspected in only 50% of patients preoperatively and immunologic test had 33% false positive rate. Although hydatid cyst was considered intra-operatively and confirmed by a frozen section histology. This study is to report a case of primary hydatid disease of the thyroid.

ABSTRACT Cervical involvement of the hydatid disease is rare entity occurring in less than 0.5% of patients. Hydatid disease is prevalent in Asia, Australia, and Eastern and Southern Europe. Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is often manifested by a slow-growing cystic mass. Hydatid cysts may be found in almost every part of the body; however, the lungs and liver are the most involved locations. This study reports an unusual presentation of the hydatid cyst over cervical region of neck. How to cite this article Singh D, Banjara H, Mungutwar V, Sarkar S, Singh S.

Abstract Context.—Preoperative fine-needle aspiration of thyroid lesions has greatly diminished the need for surgical evaluation. However, because thyroid nodules are common lesions, many still require surgical intervention and represent a substantial number of cases that the pathologist encounters in the frozen section laboratory. Objective.—Comprehensive reviews of frozen section indications, as well as gross, cytologic, and histologic features of the most common and diagnostically important thyroid and parathyroid lesions, are presented to provide a guideline for proper triage and management of these cases in the frozen section laboratory. The most common pitfalls are discussed in an attempt to avoid discordant diagnoses. Data Sources.—Thyroid lobectomy, subtotal or total thyroidectomy, and parathyroid biopsy or parathyroidectomy cases are included in this review. Conclusions.—The frozen section evaluation of thyroid and parathyroid lesions remains a highly accurate procedure with a low false-positive rate. Gross inspection, complemented by cytologic and histologic review, provides the surgeon with the rapid, reliable, cost-effective information necessary for optimum patient care.

Abdominal Hydatidosis

Hydatid disease may develop in almost any part of the body. Approximately 70% of the hydatid cysts are located in the liver followed by the lung (25%). The kidneys, spleen, mesentery, peritoneum, soft tissues and brain are uncommon locations for hydatid cysts. Involvement of pelvis is very rare, with ovary the most frequently involved genital organ. We report a rare case of abdominal  hydatidosis with cysts in the liver, spleen, peritoneal cavity and ovary.

Musculoskeletal Involvement

Chapter 96 reviews musculoskeletal echinococcosis (hydatid disease). Human echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus. It is a zoonotic infection with widespread infestation in the Mediterranean region, Central Asia, South America, southern Europe, and Australia. Humans are infected secondarily by ingestion of contaminated food or water. The disease can be seen even in nonendemic areas. Although hydatid disease can develop in almost any part of the body, it is most commonly found in the liver and lung. Musculoskeletal involvement is rare and reported in 1-4% of cases. Evaluation usually begins with radiography. The radiologic appearance of musculoskeletal echinococcosis mimics tumors and other inflammatory conditions.

✓ A rare case of multiple primary hydatid cysts of the brain is reported in a 9-year-old girl. There were five cysts, occupying most of the right supratentorial region. The biggest cyst measured 9 cm across, while the smallest one was 4.5 cm in diameter. The diagnosis was based on computerized tomography findings. The patient did not have any evidence of hydatid disease elsewhere in the body. The delivery of all the cysts resulted in the dramatic neurological recovery of this patient.

AbstractHydatid disease is a parasitic infestation caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus. It can infest any part of the body; however, aortic hydatid disease is rare. Involvement of the abdominal aorta is usually due to embolization from cardiac hydatid cysts or direct invasion and can be present at intravascular or intramural locations. Aortic hydatid disease may present with fatal complications, such as anaphylaxis, pseudoaneurysm formation, systemic embolism, and arterial occlusion.

Demographical Data

Background. Most cases of hydatid cysts form in the liver and lung and other tissues are considered as unusual locations in hydatid cysts. The current study aimed to find out the rate and features of hydatid cysts in uncommon locations in Fars Province, Southern Iran, over a 15-year period. Methods. The hospital records of patients who underwent surgery for hydatid cysts in university-affiliated hospitals in Fars Province, Southern Iran, from 2004 to 2018, were retrospectively reviewed. For each patient, clinical and demographical data were recorded. Results. During a 15-year period, a total of 501 patients were surgically treated for hydatid cysts, and out of these, 46 (9.2%) were presented with the unusual locations of hydatid disease. Males constituted 28 (60.9%) of these patients while 18 (39.1%) of the patients were females. The patients’ age ranged from 5 to 80 years (mean = 40.49; SD = 20.37). The size of the cysts ranged from 2 to 20 cm (mean = 8.69, SD = 4.59). The most common unusual location for the hydatid cyst was the spleen with 30.4% of cases, followed by the pelvic cavity (15.2%). Out of 46 cases with unusual location of the hydatid cyst, 10 (21.7%) cases had lung, 22 (47.8%) cases had liver, and 5 (10.9%) cases had both liver and lung hydatid cysts, simultaneously with cysts in unusual locations. Conclusion. In cystic echinococcosis- (CE) endemic areas, hydatid disease can affect any organ, from head to toe, in humans. The disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any cystic entities anywhere in the body.

Human hydatid cyst is an illness caused by the cystic phase of the small trepanoma, Echinococcus granulosus. It is an endemic disease in some countries of the world. Hydatid disease though known to occur in almost all organs of the body, it is extremely rare in the female reproductive organs. In this report we present a case of hydatid disease of both ovaries with widespread intraabdominal hydatid cysts. This case was misdiagnosed as an ovarian cyst until the time of operation.

Us Guidance

Hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus granulosus, which is endemic worldwide. This parasitic tapeworm can produce cysts in almost every organ of the body; however, the liver and lungs are the most frequently targeted. 37‑year-old multigravida woman with a 10-week pregnancy in whom multiple splenic and liver hydatid cysts were detected by ultrasound. All splenic and liver hydatid cysts were treated percutaneously under US guidance during the 14th week of pregnancy. The catheterization method was used in the treatment of all hydatid cysts. Alcohol was also used as scolicidal and sclerosing agent in all procedures. There were no major complications. A cystobiliary fistula developed in a hydatid cyst treated in the liver. A healthy baby was delivered vaginally at term.

Diagnostic Difficulties

Hydatid disease is caused by the parasitic tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus. This parasite in the larval stage can thrive in many parts of the body, most commonly in the liver and the lungs. Hydatid disease in the head and neck region is rare. An unusual location for hydatid disease in the thyroid gland is presented. The patient did not have other cysts postoperatively. The authors state the diagnostic difficulties caused by the omission of sonography during the diagnostic approach.
