Abstract Hydatid cysts, which are endemic to certain areas, typically are found in the liver. Spontaneous intraperitoneal rupture, which can be life threatening, is rare. This article presents a case of spontaneous rupture of a hydatid cyst in a 69-year-old woman who was admitted to the emergency department. The patient had no history of trauma. Abdominal ultrasonography and computed tomography suggested rupture of a hydatid cyst. The patient underwent a partial cystectomy, and the cystic area was washed with hypertonic saline and the peritoneal cavity was washed with isotonic saline and drained. Postoperatively, the patient was treated with albendazole for 3 months. No additional pathology was observed at the 3-, 6-, and 9-month follow-ups. Although rare, a ruptured hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the acute abdomen in a patient residing in an endemic area.

AbstractWe present a 48-year-old lady with left chest pain and dyspnea of 6 months duration. Computed tomography scan revealed a left-sided cystic lesion in the lung parenchyma abutting the posterior pleura and chest wall along with a similar cystic lesion in the segment IV of the liver. A diagnosis of lung and liver hydatid cysts was made based on the imaging and positive serology. Percutaneous alcohol ablation of the lung and hepatic hydatid cysts was done using catheter drainage (PAIR-D: percutaneous aspiration, instillation of scolicidal agents, reaspiration of contents, and drainage) in the lung cyst and needle-PAIR in the liver lesion. The procedure was well tolerated without any intra- as well as postprocedure complication. The patient is well during 24 months follow-up without any recurrence or morbidity.

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).

Introduction. Cystic echinococcosis or hydatid disease is a parasitic disease, zoonosis, and is most commonly caused by Echinococcus granulosus larvae. It mainly occurs in endemic areas. The most common localization is the liver. Case outline. In this paper, we will present our experience with a 67-year-old female patient diagnosed with an echinococcal cyst in the right lobe of the liver, as confirmed by computed tomography examination of the abdomen. The patient underwent laparoscopic partial pericystectomy with omentoplasty. The operation went without complications, as well as the postoperative period. Conclusion. Laparoscopic partial pericystectomy is a safe and effective treatment of available hepatic hydatid cysts. Considering all the benefits of minimally invasive surgery, laparoscopic partial pericystectomy of hepatic hydatid cysts may be the treatment of choice, over the classical open surgery approach.
