“…Hemoptysis is often seen with rupture of the cysts. In different cyst series, hemoptysis was reported at between 1.8% and 8% (13,16,18,21,22). In the case of close neighborhoods with large vascular structures, cysts localized in the lung caused erosion of the vascular wall, resulting in massive hemoptysis and mortality (21,22).…”

Although parenchymal sparing surgery is the most appropriate for the treatment of hydatid cysts, rarely lobectomy is needed. We aimed to retrospectively evaluate the cases in which we had to perform lobectomy due to hydatid cyst. Materials and methods:A total of 36 (1.88%) patients that underwent lobectomy (n = 35) and pneumonectomy (n = 1) from among 1909 patients operated on for hydatid cyst in our hospital between 1992 and 2012 were retrospectively evaluated.Results: Among the patients, 35 underwent lobectomy and 1 right pneumonectomy. The mean age of the patients was 11.1 ± 3.4 years (6-16 years) among children and 43.2 ± 13.8 years (20-78 years) among adults. The most common indications for lobectomy were destroyed parenchyma in 22 (61.1%), hemoptysis in 17 (47.2%), and parenchymal loss due to giant cyst in 12 (33.3%) cases. Postoperative morbidity was observed in 9 (25%) patients, and no mortality was observed. Conclusion:The effective treatment for hydatid cyst is parenchymal sparing surgery. However, lobectomy is an inevitable result with indications such as destroyed parenchyma, hemoptysis, parenchymal loss due to giant cyst, lobe bronchus ruptured into the cystic cavity, broncho-pleural fistula, suspected malignancy, broncho-bilier fistula, and pulmonary abscess.

“…6 Some cases of nontraumatic pseudoaneurysm due to infections such as tuberculosis and pulmonary hydatid disease have also been described. 5,8 We found 17 cases of aortic pseudoaneurysm associated with nontraumatic rupture of the thoracic aorta reported between 1970 and 2006. The mean age of the patients was 62.5 AE 10 years, and 12 were hypertensive.…”

“…In intact cysts, pneumonia developing in atelectatic floor occurs as a result of erosion of bronchia caused by cyst with the effect of compression, cyst rupture or more rarely, erosion in vascular structure [9]. It is reported that when pulmonary located cysts are adjacent to large vascular structures, the erosion of vascular wall causes mortality during and after massive hemoptysis [10].…”

Hidatik kist hastalığı tarım ve hayvancılıkla uğraşan, çevre sağlığı ve koruyucu hekimlik önlemlerinin yetersiz kaldığı toplumlarda görülen, en sık Echinococcus granulosus ile Echinococcus multilocularis'in etken olduğu önemli bir paraziter hastalıktır [1,2]. Ülkemizde de oldukça yaygın olarak görülmektedir. En sık karaciğere (%60-70) ve akciğerlere (%20-25) yerleşmekle birlikte, sistemik dolaşıma geçerse kemik dahil tüm organ ve dokulara yerleşebilir (%10). Çocuklarda en sık yerleşim yeri akciğerlerdir [1,3,4]. Embriyoların akciğere ulaşması hematojen, lenfatik, transdiyafragmatik ve nadiren inhalasyon yoluyla olabilir. Akciğer hidatik kistleri %14-24 oranında multipl olup, %75'i ise bilateral'dir. Akciğerde sıklıkla sağda ve alt loblarda yerleşir [3]. Dev kistler, perfore kistler, enfekte kistler, eş zamanlı akciğier karaciğer kistleri, fistülize olmuş kistler, atipik yerleşimli kistler komplike kistlerdir.
