Larval Phase

Hydatid cyst (HD) disease is a parasitic infection produced by cysts containing the Echinococcus granulosus larval phase. Patients with HC are typically asymptomatic until incidentally diagnosed or when complications occur. A rare presentation of liver HC is spontaneous cutaneous fistualization; we report a 63- year-old female patient admitted in the hospital in 2019 (Al-Thora General Hospital, Ibb, Yemen) with an infected cutaneous fistula induced by a ruptured HC. The patient underwent laparotomy and partial cystectomy with excision of the fistula tract. The main purpose of this report is for physicians to consider this diagnosis when they face an unusual cutaneous fistula near HC common involved organs, especially in areas where the prevalence of this disease is high. We also briefly discuss the management and outcome of this disease. Keywords: Case Report; Complications; Cutaneous Fistula; Echinococcosis; Liver; Surgery.

Hepatic Hydatid

Abstract Hydatid disease has a worldwide distribution as a result of more global travel. Liver and lungs are the most common sites for the primary hydatid cysts in the human body. We managed a 68-year-old man who presented with abdominal distension and umbilical fistula, discharging daughter cysts. Ultrasound imaging of the abdomen showed hepatic hydatid cyst forming a fistula at the umbilicus. The patient underwent a laparotomy with partial cystectomy and excision of the fistula tract. The umbilicus healed after the procedure. The patient did not have any recurrences in 5 years of follow-up. Spontaneous cutaneous fistulization of liver hydatid cyst is a rare presentation. A detailed literature search revealed 15 cases published in all languages. Hydatid disease presenting as an umbilical fistula has not been reported yet. We summarize all these cases including the presentation, findings, management, and outcome. Combined surgical and medical treatment is successful in healing of hepatic hydatid cutaneous fistula.

Case Presentation

Abstract Background: Subhepatic appendicitis is an exceedingly rare presentation accounting for 0.01% of Acute appendicitis. It is of prime importance to be aware of various variants and thereby managing such challenging cases accordingly.Case presentation: We present a middle-aged female patient with subhepatic perforated appendicitis and peritonitis who underwent an exploratory laparotomy and appendectomy.Conclusions: Surgical management of such patients is challenging due to an atypical presentation. The surgical management of such patients is discussed with a brief review of literature.

AbstractHydatid cyst involving the spleen is a rare clinical condition (0.5-4%). We report a case of multi-parasitic infection in a 62 year old female (hydatid cyst and ascaris lumbricoides infestation), confirmed during surgery. The purpose of the paper is to emphasize on the rare association of the two parasitic infections, affecting two different organs (spleen and jejunum). The combined symptomatology of the two parasites could mimic an acute surgical abdomen.

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus with worldwide distribution. The most affected organs are liver and lungs, but it can be detected in any other organs as well. We reported a 5-yr-old boy from Shiraz, southern Iran in 2017 who presented with abdominal discomfort. Imaging revealed multiple liver hydatid cyst and a huge kidney hydatid cyst. This case showed the possible implication of rapid growth of multiple hydatid cyst as well as unusual organ presentation in the pediatric population.

Splenic Hydatid Cyst

Splenic Hydatid Cyst is a very rare presentation with less than 5% of total incidences of Cystic Echinococcosis. It is usually due to spread of cysts from other regions leading to secondaries. Primary isolated splenic hydatid cyst without involvement of any other organs is even rarer. We report an unusual case of a female who presented as Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) with an incidental finding of Isolated Splenic Hydatid Cyst with absence of involvement of any other organ. Patient underwent laparotomy and total splenectomy was done. This case report targets to report a rare case of incidental finding of isolated unilocular hydatid cyst of spleen and describes its management.

Lower Limb Ischemia

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has developed as a pandemic and has caused thousands of deaths worldwide. It may be complicated with arterial or venous thrombosis; however, the literature for concerning these symptoms is limited. Here, we report a rare presentation of COVID-19 infection in a 49-year-old female patient, who presented with acute lower limb ischemia one day before the development of the classic symptoms for COVID-19, such as fever and dyspnea. Clinicians should have a high suspicion and awareness of COVID-19 infection in patients presenting with acute lower limb ischemia, especially during the pandemic period.

Spontaneous perforation of gallbladder as a complication of biliary stones may lead to cholecystocutaneous abscess or fistula. Here we report a case of cholecystocutaneous fistula in a 50-year-old diabetic female patient who presented with a chronic discharging sinus on right upper abdomen with recurrent abscess formation which failed to heal despite repeated attempts at incision drainage and debridement. After evaluation the tract was explored and was found to be communicating with the fundus of the gall bladder. The whole fistula tract was excised along with cholecystectomy.
