Isolated echinococcosis or hydatid cyst of breast is very rare disease especially in non-endemic areas. Even in endemic areas, hydatid cysts detects only for 0.27% of all cases of hydatidosis. Diagnosis of hydatid disease is difficult and it is diagnosed after surgical excision in majority cases. We report a case of 39 year old female with isolated hydatid cyst of the left breast that appeared as a painless breast lump without any specific symptoms.

Vague Abdominal Pain

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.

Peritoneal Hydatidosis

Primary peritoneal hydatidosis is an extremely rare ( 2% of all intra-abdominal hydatid disease). Peritoneal hydatid disease is secondary to liver or splenic involvement following spontaneous rupture or accidental spillage during surgery. Methods: We made a retrospective study based on the analysis of the database of the I Surgery Clinic of the University Emergency Hospital „St. Spiridon ”from Iași, with peritoneal hydatid cyst, including all the data from the medical files. Between 1991 and 2021 a total of 18 patients were operated for primary (3) or secondary peritoneal cysts (15). During the same period, 1002 cases of hydatid cyst with various locations were treated in the Iasi Surgery Clinic: 805 abdominal (714 hepatic, 43 splenic, and 18 peritoneal) and 197 extra abdominal (thoracic, cervical, muscular, retroperitoneal, etc.). The incidence of hydatid diseases has decreased over time from 35 cases per year to 18 cases per year. In the year of the COVID pandemic (2020) the incidence decreased to 10 cases per year.Most of the patients with peritoneal hydatidosis were asymptomatic or had atypical symptoms. The diagnosis was based on the preoperative history, rupture of the cysts, serology, ultrasound and computer tomography. Open surgery was the procedure of choice (16 cases) with conservative (13 cysts) and radical (3 cysts) methods. The laparoscopic approach was performed in 2 cases of primary peritoneal hydatid cysts. Results: The outcome of surgery was good without postoperative mortality or severe morbidity and the recurrence rate was 22.2%. Conclusions: Peritoneal hydatidosis is a rare disease; it is important to prevent the disease. Clinical signs and symptoms are nonspecific for a long time.We suspect this diagnosis in the case of abdominal cystic tumors especially in endemic regions. The diagnosis is made based on the history of operated hydatid disease, clinical signs, imaging and immunological tests. Total surgical excision of hydatid cysts or partial perichystectomy after evacuation of the inactivated cyst is the chosen treatment. Proper perioperative medical treatment prevents recurrence. Long-term follow-up is necessary to detect and treat any recurrence.

Cystic echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, rarely occurs in aorta. In this article, we report a rare case of pseudo-aneurysm of the lower descending thoracic aorta communicating with the hydatid cyst; surgical excision was performed with primary repair of aorta. This report emphasizes the need for early diagnosis of hydatid cyst with high index of suspicion in endemic areas, particularly if in the vicinity of a major vessel and aggressive investigations followed by subsequent early treatment before disabling and life-threatening complications occur.

Migration of foreign bodies (FB) with the blood flow to the heart is a rare, but very alarming condition as it may lead to life-threatening complications and death. Objects that are larger than 5 mm in diameter and/or irregular in shape are recommended for removal from extra- and intracardiac areas to prevent incurable embolization. Surgical extraction of intracardiac objects is a serious surgical challenge associated with difficulties to operate, during the continuous movement of the heart, and identify the exact FB location. Early diagnosis and timely removal of FBs are crucial treatment factors for this rare case resolution. We report a case of accidental migration of a metal FB object (nail) about 1.0*0.3 cm from the right neck area jugular vein to the right ventricle apex in the heart. The FB localization was accurately detected using Bi-plane transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) with a special comet-tail artifact. TEE provided valuable information before surgery, and the nail was successfully removed through open-heart surgical procedures and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). Postoperative tests indicated no complications.

✓ A rare case of multiple primary hydatid cysts of the brain is reported in a 9-year-old girl. There were five cysts, occupying most of the right supratentorial region. The biggest cyst measured 9 cm across, while the smallest one was 4.5 cm in diameter. The diagnosis was based on computerized tomography findings. The patient did not have any evidence of hydatid disease elsewhere in the body. The delivery of all the cysts resulted in the dramatic neurological recovery of this patient.

We report 3 patients with primary cardiac hydatid cysts, all of which were located on the wall of the right ventricle. In one case, an intramyocardial cyst protruded into the right ventricular chamber and in the other 2 cases, cysts protruded into the intrapericardial space. The diagnosis was confirmed by serologic tests, two-dimensional echocardiography, tomographic scanning and cardiac angiography. The patients underwent successful enucleation of the cysts with the aid of cardiopulmonary bypass. There was no morbidity or mortality and late results were satisfactory.
