Cardiac hydatid cyst: Report of two cases

Giant Hydatid Cyst of Liver: A Case Report With Review of Literature

“…The HC fluid is highly allergenic, hence the high risk of anaphylaxis and death. 2,4,6 Several reports describe cyst penetration into blood vessels or gastrointestinal tract lumen. 6,7 Direct rupture may cause massive intra-abdominal hemorrhage or biliary peritonitis.…”

“…6,7 Direct rupture may cause massive intra-abdominal hemorrhage or biliary peritonitis. 6,7 The incidence of HCs rupturing into the peritoneal cavity is unclear. 7 Whether peritoneal spillage leads to a higher rate of recurrence remains unproven, although it may give rise to secondary cysts.…”

“…7 Whether peritoneal spillage leads to a higher rate of recurrence remains unproven, although it may give rise to secondary cysts. 6 Cyst rupture into the liver parenchyma occurs when cyst contents penetrate adjacent parenchyma without reaching the peritoneal cavity. 6,7 Rupture of the hepatic HC due to high intracystic pressure is one of the most serious complications.…”

“…6 Cyst rupture into the liver parenchyma occurs when cyst contents penetrate adjacent parenchyma without reaching the peritoneal cavity. 6,7 Rupture of the hepatic HC due to high intracystic pressure is one of the most serious complications. Cyst rupture into the biliary tract, which causes choloestasis, occurs in 5% to 17% of cases.…”
