Cardiac Hydatid cysts; presentation and management. A case series

“…Its origin thought to be in Iceland and to have been brought to continental Europe by dogs accompanying whaleboats in the 18th century [ 1 ]. Geographic areas that have highest infestation rates are those in which there is continues contact between humans and certain domestic carnivores such as cats, dogs and some ungulates as sheep [ 2 ]. Echinococcosis is endemic to the Mediterranean region, South America, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, Alaska, and Canada, where it is widespread among native American tribes [ 1 ].…”

Primary chest wall Hydatid cyst: Review of literature with report of a new case

“…The diagnosis of HC is radiological. Indirect hemaglutination test, complimentary fixation test and dermal test may aid in diagnosis but they are neither sensitive nor specific [1] , [2] , [4] , [8] . Diagnosis of chest wall HC is challenging [8] .…”

“…The most commonly affected organ is liver (52%–77%), followed by lungs (10%–40%) [3] . Rarely, it affects diaphragm, vertebrae, abdominal wall and skeletal muscles [4] , [5] , [6] . Hydatid disease of the chest wall is extremely rare.…”

Traumatic rupture of liver hydatid cysts into the peritoneal cavity of an 11-year-old boy: a case report from Iran

“…The disease is endemic and hyper-endemic in pastoral regions of the world 2,3 . Although HC may develop in any organ, it generally occurs in the liver (50-75%) and lungs (18-30%), and is characterized by a cystic form of lesions 4 . Hydatid cysts (HCs) develop slowly, making the viscera, and especially the abdominal cavity, highly susceptible to traumatic ruptures.…”
