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 disease is a zoonosis caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. The liver is the most commonly involved organ, followed by lungs. The most common complications of hepatic hydatid cyst are rupture into the biliary tract and secondary bacterial infection. However, rupture into the retroperitoneum and the abdominal wall muscles is exceptional. Case presentation. We describe an unusual case of a 27-year-old female who was referred to our department for right flank pain for four months. Abdominal ultrasound and CT scan revealed a huge hydatid cyst in liver segment VI fistulizing to the retroperitoneum and the lateral and posterior abdominal wall muscles, causing anterior displacement of the right kidney, with two other cysts in segment II and VIII. Surgery was performed associated with perioperative antiparasitic chemotherapy. The cysts were unroofed and a resection of the protruding domes was performed. The hydatid material in the retroperitoneum and the muscles were completely evacuated by aspiration. Follow-up showed no recurrence. Discussion. Hepatic hydatid cyst rupture usually occurs into biliary tract, pleural cavity, bronchial tree and intraperitoneal cavity. Rupture into the retroperitoneum and the lateral and posterior abdominal wall muscles is exceptional. To our knowledge, this complication has never been documented before. The hydatid disease may involve insidiously for a long time to lead to such a complication. Surgery was inevitable in our case. It allowed to treat both the hydatid cyst and its complication. Conclusions. A rupture into the retroperitoneum and the abdominal wall muscles as a complication of a liver hydatid cyst is exceptional. In this presentation, we noticed that hydatid cysts can reach an extremely large size while remaining for a long time asymptomatic. We aim to highlight the significance of preventive measures and public health education to fight against the hydatid disease in endemic areas.

Lung is the second most common site of hydatid disease, after liver. Pleural involvement of hydatiddisease can occur, and usually follows the rupture of a pulmonary or hepatic hydatid cyst into thepleural space. When a patient presents with tension pneumothorax, zoonotic infections, especiallyhydatid disease of the lung, also has to be considered especially in areas with high burden of thedisease. We report a 31 years male patient presenting with tension pneumothorax due to rupture ofhydatid cyst of lung.

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).
