Hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus granulosus and is endemic in many parts of the worlds and produce cysts in almost every organs of the body, with the liver and lung being the most common sites. Here we presented a case of isolated retro-vesical hydatid cyst which is extremely rare with only a few cases reported in literature previously.Bangladesh J. Nuclear Med. 18(2): 186-188, July 2015

The World

Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease, which is most commonly caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It is endemic in many parts of the world. However, Hydatid disease can occur in almost any part of the body. Isolated omenal hydatid cyst is one of the least common sites. A case of very unusual omental hydatid cyst is presented here which was diagnosed in the Department of Radiology & Imaging, Dhaka Medical College Hospital, Dhaka, and subsequently confirmed by histopathology.

Larval Form

Echinococcosis (hydatid disease) primarily affects the liver; however, secondary involvement due to hematogenous dissemination may be seen in almost any anatomic location. Isolated hydatid disease of the spleen is rare (1, 2). It is caused by the larval form of the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus, E. multilocularis, E. vogeli, or E. oligarthrus. E. granulosus is the most common organism involved, with dogsEchinoccocus granulosus; splenic hydatid; Laparotomy as the definitive host and sheep as an intermediate host. Human beings exposed to certain stages of the life cycle of the organism are also an intermediate host. Human hydatid disease can involve the liver (55%–70%), lung (18%–35%), spleen, kidney, peritoneal cavity, skin and muscles (<2%) and rarely the remaining parts of the body.

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.

Primary Hydatid Cyst

Introduction. Hydatid disease is a disease caused by the cestodeEchinococcus.Echinococcus granulosusis the most commonEchinococcusspecies affecting human. It may affect any organ and tissue in the body, most in the liver and lung. Disease is endemic in some regions of the world, and is common in Iran. Primary hydatid cyst of the axillary region is an unusual and rare localization of hydatid disease. So far, only sixteen cases have been published in the all medical literature.Case Report. Herein, we present a 33-year-old woman because of a mass in the axillary region of four months duration. Axillary ultrasonography showed a thick wall cystic lesion. No abnormality was found in mammographic examination of either breast, or in abdominal ultrasonography and chest X-ray. The mass was excised for pathological examination that showed a typical laminated membrane of hydatid cyst. Postoperative IgG- ELISA serology in this case was negative. Based on pathology an axillary hydatid cyst was diagnosed.Conclusion. Hydatid cyst should be considered in endemic areas in patients presenting with a soft tissue mass in the axillary region.

Diagnostic Difficulties

Hydatid disease is caused by the parasitic tapeworm, Echinococcus granulosus. This parasite in the larval stage can thrive in many parts of the body, most commonly in the liver and the lungs. Hydatid disease in the head and neck region is rare. An unusual location for hydatid disease in the thyroid gland is presented. The patient did not have other cysts postoperatively. The authors state the diagnostic difficulties caused by the omission of sonography during the diagnostic approach.

Cervical Involvement

ABSTRACT Cervical involvement of the hydatid disease is rare entity occurring in less than 0.5% of patients. Hydatid disease is prevalent in Asia, Australia, and Eastern and Southern Europe. Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is often manifested by a slow-growing cystic mass. Hydatid cysts may be found in almost every part of the body; however, the lungs and liver are the most involved locations. This study reports an unusual presentation of the hydatid cyst over cervical region of neck. How to cite this article Singh D, Banjara H, Mungutwar V, Sarkar S, Singh S.

Hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus granulosus, which is endemic worldwide. This parasitic tapeworm can produce cysts in almost every organ of the body; however, the liver and lungs are the most frequently targeted. 37‑year-old multigravida woman with a 10-week pregnancy in whom multiple splenic and liver hydatid cysts were detected by ultrasound. All splenic and liver hydatid cysts were treated percutaneously under US guidance during the 14th week of pregnancy. The catheterization method was used in the treatment of all hydatid cysts. Alcohol was also used as scolicidal and sclerosing agent in all procedures. There were no major complications. A cystobiliary fistula developed in a hydatid cyst treated in the liver. A healthy baby was delivered vaginally at term.

Hydatid disease, mostly caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infestation of the liver. In this type of infectious disease, humans are an intermediate host. Although most common sites are liver (70%) and lungs (25%), this parasitic tapeworm can be seen at any region of the body. Intraperitoneal cysts are usually secondary to the rupture of primary cysts, but primary hydatid cysts of the mesentery are very rare (%2). Herein, we aimed to report a giant primary hydatid cyst in a male patient, treated surgically without any complications.

Introduction. Hydatid disease is caused by the tapewormEchinococcus granulosusand is still a matter of public health in many regions of the world, where it is an endemic parasitic disease. Although the liver is the most involved organ, hydatidosis can be found anywhere in the human body. Rare forms of location may lead to diagnostic and therapeutic dilemmas.Case Report. Herein we report a rare case of acute abdominal pain and progressively increasing abdominal distension due to abdominal and multiple splenic echinococcosis in a 72-year-old Caucasian male. We also provide a brief review of the literature.Conclusion. Although hydatid disease is found most often in the liver and lungs, rarely any organ of the body can be involved by this zoonosis. Though rare, the possibility of unusual location of echinococcosis must always be considered by the operating surgeon, when dealing with diffuse abdominal pain in endemic areas, because any misinterpretation may result in unfavorable outcomes.

Isolated hydatid disease of the breast is a rare condition, possessing a diagnostic dilemma for the clinicians. Hydatid disease is common in endemic areas affecting most commonly the liver and lungs. Other organs rarely involved are the kidney, bone and brain. It is caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus, widely spread by cattle and sheep. Humans are the accidental host for this organism. We present a similar case of isolated hydatid cyst of the breast, which was diagnosed preoperatively and managed successfully.
