Broncho-Hepato-Cutaneous Fistula of Hydatid Origin

Abstract: R ecently, a 55-year-old afebrile female presented to the emergency department of our hospital with serous discharge from a small skin opening in the right hypochondrium. Her medical history included a by removal of a hydatid cyst from the right hepatic lobe laparotomy 16 y previously; since then, occasional discharge was noted. This time, a contrastenhanced thoraco-abdominal computed tomography scan showed a 10 · 6-cm hypodense lesion of the right hepatic lobe compatible with abscess ( Fig. 1A). Fistulography… Show more

“…The most commonly employed radiological tools both to diagnose parietal complications of HD and determine the location of lesions are as follows: US, [7,1719] CT, [2738] MRI, [25,42] and fistulography. [3,11,16,26,48,50,52] Fistulography may be help in determining the length of a fistula's internal orifice, the size and location of fistulized lesion, and the relationship of a fistula with bile ducts, bronchopleural structures, and pelvicalyceal system. A cutaneous fistulization was detected in 40 of the enrolled patients; 17.5% of whom were studied using fistulography in addition to other radiological instruments.…”
