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.

Primary Hydatid Cyst

We report and discuss a case of primary hydatidosis of the pelvic cavity in a woman who presented with severe weight loss and abdominal pain. This unusual presentation was initially considered as a tumor process until surgical exploration and microscopic studies confirmed the diagnosis. The gynecologists should be aware of possibility of primary hydatid cyst of the pelvic cavity and should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic pelvic masses, especially in areas where the disease is endemic.

✓The authors report on an 81-year-old woman with a primary hydatid cyst located in the posteromedial aspect of the thigh. She presented with sciatica, and the cyst was also associated with neurological dysfunction because of its intra-neural location. Diagnosis of a cyst in a nerve body is very rare, and the one reported here might be the first such case. So far, in all the previously reported cases in which there were also neurological findings, the cysts in the vertebral column were compressing the spinal cord or there was an intrapelvic mass compressing the sciatic nerve. Hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sciatica, especially when treating patients who live in or have emigrated from areas of the world where Echinococcus granulosus is prevalent.

Introduction. Thymic cysts are among the rarest cysts found in the neck. Nests of thymic tissue may be found anywhere along the descent of the thymic primordia from the angle of the mandible to the mediastinum. Mediastinal extension is seen in 50% of cervical thymic cysts.Case Report. We report an uncommon case of a 15-year-old male, who noted a painless, growing mass on left side of his neck of one-year duration. Computerised tomographic scan showed a multiloculated fluid density lesion with enhancing septae in the left parapharyngeal space, extending from the level of mandible up to C7 vertebral level. Here, we discuss the surgical aspect, histopathology, and management of this rare lateral neck swelling.Discussion. Clinically, in most cases, cervical thymic lesions present as a unilateral asymptomatic neck mass, commonly on the left side of the neck, and 75% of patients present before 20 years of age.Conclusion. Thymic cyst should be included as differential diagnosis of cystic neck masses. Greater awareness among the pathologists may decrease misdiagnosis.

Primary Hydatid Cyst

<p class="abstract">Primary hydatid cyst swelling of neck is an uncommon occurrence even in regions where hydatidosis is common. We report a case of a 13 year old male patient who presented with a swelling in right side of neck since 4 years, which turned out to be a hydatid cyst. FNAC is a useful pre-operative investigation for diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Complete surgical excision followed by medical treatment (benzimidazole derivatives) is considered to be the treatment of choice. Hydatid cyst should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of neck swellings.</p>
