Atypically located hydatid cyst cases

Abstract

Six hydatid cysts cases without a primary source anywhere were presented. Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease well known for years are commonly located in liver and lungs. Those intradiaphragmatic and intramyocardiac were diagnosed preoperatively but those lying subcutaneously on sternum and the right first rib were recognized after operation. They were also confirmed with pathologic study. Patients were also detected for hydatid cysts elsewhere. As an endemic disease in our country, atypical locations should be kept in mind. This disease is to be remembered in considering soft tissue tumors. J Clin Exp Invest 2013; 4 (3): 352-355

Intra-Abdominal Hydatidosis: Hydatid Cyst Related to Right Hepatic Colon Lumen

“…Hydatid disease is very common and is one of the most frequent parasitoses in, in particular, Turkey, India, several South American countries, Africa, and the Middle East countries. In humans, hydatid cysts involve almost all of the organs, and the most commonly affected organs are the liver (70% of cases) and lungs (20% of cases), with other organs' involvement at around 10% [1][2][3][4]. The most common complications of hepatic hydatid disease are adjacent organs' compression or perforation into the bile duct and pleura, pericard or cyst infection.…”

Hydatid Cyst Cases with Different Localization: Region of Erzurum

“…TARTIŞMAEchinococcus granulosus larvalarının oluşturduğu bir insan enfeksiyonu olan KH, dünyadaki en önemli zoonotik hastalıklardan biridir. Ülkemizin Doğu ve Güneydoğu bölgesinde yüksek parazit prevalansı izlenmektedir(11).Hidatik kist hastalığı, sıklıkla, karaciğer (%50-70) ve akciğerlere (%20-30) yerleşir(12,13). 1702 yılında, Davis ilk böbrek KH'ği ve 1790 yılında Bertelot ilk dalak KH'i bildirdiğinden beri, hastalığın karaciğer ve akciğer dışında vücutta çok çeşitli yerleri tutabileceği bilinmektedir(14).…”

Examınatıon of Atypical Located Hydatıd Cyst Disease in Eastern Turkey

“…Within this same study including serological examination of 80 patients, 2 vertebra, 1 muscle, 1 peritoneum, 1 brain, 1 spleen, 1 kidney and 1 muscle and 31 liver and lung localization was observed. Meteroglu et al (9) have been declared six cases showing atypical localization. Two of them were shown as heart echinococcosis.…”

“…If they further get able to excess through the lungs, they may localize in any kind of organ. The embryos excessed through the lungs can be seen in any other place such as the pericardium, epicardium, myocardium, fissures, pleural cavity, spleen, kidney, peritoneum, diaphragm, brain, and bones (9). According to the resources, the localization ratios were reported as; 50%-70% in liver, 11%-17% in lungs, from 2.4% to 5.3% in soft tissues, from 0.5% to 3% in heart, 5% in pericardium, 0.5%-4.7% in muscles and subcutaneous tissue (2).…”
