A 24-year-old man was investigated for dyspnea and swelling of the right side of the neck with pain in the right shoulder, which had developed over the previous year. Hydatid cyst of the right first rib was diagnosed by chest radiography and computed tomography. Serology for hydatid disease was negative. The cysts and the first rib were excised via a right thoracotomy. The postoperative course was uneventful. Histology revealed multilocular echinococcal lesions.

Abstract Background Hydatid disease is an endemic disease in many countries of the world including the Middle East. It mainly affects the liver and lungs. Intramuscular hydatid disease is rarely reported in children. Such uncommon localization of hydatid cyst may pose difficulties in the clinical and radiological diagnosis; hence affecting patient’s management and outcome even in endemic areas. Case presentation We herein describe intramuscular hydatid cysts in 2 different children. The first case is a 5-year-old boy who presented with a painless palpable lump over the right lumbar paraspinal region. His history was remarkable for sheep contact. His laboratory results revealed a mild increase in white blood cell (WBC) count and C-reactive protein. The lesion showed typical features of a hydatid cyst on ultrasound. Further imaging including ultrasound of the abdomen and CT of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis showed infestation of the liver and lung as well. The lesions were resected surgically without complications. The patient received Albendazole preoperatively and after surgery for 3 months. No evidence of recurrence was seen during follow-up. The second case is a 6-year-old girl who presented with an incidental palpable lump in her left thigh during her hospital admission for recurrent meningitis. Ultrasound and MRI imaging were performed demonstrating a unilocular cystic lesion in the left proximal rectus femoris muscle. A provisional diagnosis of hematoma vs. myxoma was given. Biopsy was performed and yielded blood products only. The lesion was resected surgically with a postoperative diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Blood tests performed afterward showed a positive titer for Echinococcus. The patient received Albendazole for 3 months. No evidence of recurrence was seen during follow-up. Conclusions Despite its rarity; skeletal muscle hydatid cyst should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of cystic muscle lesions in children in endemic areas even if imaging studies did not show any of the typical signs. This will improve patient outcome by preventing unnecessary cystic puncture which might lead to serious complications, such as anaphylaxis and local dissemination.

Introduction. Hydatid disease is a cyclozoonotic parasitic infestation caused by the cestodeEchinococcus granulosus. The cysts mainly arise in the liver (50 to 70%) or lung (20 to 30%), but any other organ can be involved, in abdominal and pelvic locations, as well as in other less common sites, which may make both diagnosis and treatment more complex. Isolated renal involvement is extremely rare.Case Presentation. We report a rare case of isolated renal hydatid disease in a 71-year-old man with a history of vague abdominal pain, anemia, fever, and microhematuria. Ultrasonographic examination revealed a complex cyst in the right kidney, including multiple smaller cysts with internal echoes. A magnetic resonance scan of the abdomen confirmed the findings, and hydatid cyst disease was diagnosed. Right nephrectomy was performed, and microscopic examination confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Albendazole, 10 mg/kg per day, was given for 4 weeks (2 weeks preoperatively and 2 weeks postoperatively).Conclusion. Isolated primary hydatidosis of the kidney should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of any cystic renal mass, even in the absence of accompanying involvement of liver or other visceral organs.

A 44-year-old woman was admitted for chest distress. Computed tomography angiography showed a 3.6-cm IAA arising from the aortic arch and compressing the trachea. A median sternotomy was performed with the patient under general anesthesia, and the IAA was found to involve the origin of the innominate artery and the bifurcation of the right subclavian artery and common carotid artery; however, the aorta was intact. An 8-mm Dacron graft was anastomosed to the ascending aorta and distal end of the IAA without cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful, and repeat computed tomography angiography revealed no evidence of recurrence 6 months postoperatively. We also herein present a literature review of this rare clinical condition.

: Hydatid disease has been introduced as a crucial health issue in the Eastern Mediterranean by the World Health Organization. Surgery is the standard gold treatment for hydatid disease. Here, we reported a case of a large hydatid cyst involving the lung in a 13-year-old girl complaining of shortness of breath and cough for 8 months. Early symptoms include fever, cough, and shortness of breath. After admission, computed tomography verified giant lung hydatid cysts. Complete collapse of the right lung and progressive respiratory distress of the patient were treated with thoracotomy considering the size of the hydatid cyst in the lung. It should be noted that in such patients, the preservation of lung tissue function is very significant, and also, the less part of the lung is removed after surgery, the fewer complications the patient will suffer.

Desmoplastic ameloblastoma (DA) is one of the 6 histopathological subtypes of ameloblastoma. Hybrid lesions in which histopathologically conventional ameloblastoma coexists with areas of DA are rare. A 40-year-old male was referred to our hospital complaining of a swelling in the right premolar region of the mandible. A panoramic radiograph showed an area of radiolucency with a well-defined corticated border, whereas computed tomography revealed a unilocular radiolucent lesion and buccal expansion together with cortical perforation. The lesion was treated via enucleation and curettage of the marginal bone and fenestration. A histopathological examination showed a hybrid ameloblastoma with a pronounced desmoplastic pattern and follicular changes. The patient’s postoperative course has been favorable up to now, and no marked changes have been observed. We presented a case of hybrid ameloblastoma and reviewed the 36 reported cases of hybrid ameloblastoma that have been reported in the English literature.

Hepatic Hydatid

Liver is the most common organ involved in hydatid disease. But involvement of multiple organs simultaneously is not unheard of. Here we have presented our experience with one such similar case with involvement of lower lobe of right lung and segment VII of liver. There was spontaneous rupture of the lung hydatid cyst during the hospital stay. A right posterolateral thoracotomy was performed for evacuation of spilled hydatid cyst content from the right pleural cavity. Intraoperative ultrasound (IOUS) was used to locate and drain the hepatic hydatid cyst via the diaphragm. Such single incision surgery for hepatopulmonary hydatid disease is associated with lesser post-operative morbidity and early discharge from the hospital. Use of IOUS can significantly improve the rate of successful localization and drainage of hepatic hydatid cyst in transthoracic approach.

Introduction: Hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland is extremely rare even in generalized hydatid disease, with less than 20 cases reported in world literature including those found in autopsy. Case outline: The authors present the second case of the adrenal gland hydatid cyst described in Serbian literature, in 52-year old woman. During the investigation for the epigastric pain by ultrasonography and computed tomography, calcified cyst of the sixth segment of the liver, 44?39 mm in diameter, was diagnosed. However, during an open surgery, it turned out to be the cyst of the right adrenal gland. The cyst as well as the entire adrenal gland was removed. The hydatid nature of the cyst was confirmed by histological examination. The postoperative recovery was uneventful. The patient has remained symptom-free over two years after the surgery. Conclusion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case reported in Serbian and 18th case published in world literature.

Hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It is seen most frequently in the liver and lungs in adults. The mediastinal location of this disease is rare. Herein, we report the case of a 38-year-old male with signs of heart failure related to a rupture of a mediastinal hydatid cyst with pericardial tamponade. The diagnosis was confirmed by echocardiography, computed tomography, and hydatic serology, and the patient was operated and put on albendazole for 3 months with favorable clinical course.
