“…Although the cysts occur more frequently in adult men this doesn’t demonstrate a sex tendency 1,6 . However, in children, there are various studies reporting higher frequencies in girls 9 or boys 2,3,10 . In our study, the male to female ratio was 1:1 in adults and the 3:1 in children.…”

Isolated pulmonary cysts are more common in children than adults. The cysts also tend to be bigger in children than adults. The frequency of concomitant hepatic cysts is less in children. Because of higher lung expansion ability and improvement capacity in children, resection should be avoided and lung saving surgical procedures should be performed. In spite of differences observed in the clinical features it does not change the treatment of pulmonary hydatid cysts in children.

“…19,23 Among these, capitonnage along with cystotomy has been the most frequently applied and recommended method. 22,24 Similarly, in our clinic, cystotomy and capitonnage in combination has been a common preference for hydatid cyst treatment. In cases with hepatic involvement accompanied by cysts located in the right lung, phrenotomy can be applied to remove the cyst in the liver.…”

“…1,13,21,22 From the moment of definitive diagnosis based on certain symptoms, and the presence of ruptured or complicated cysts, surgical treatment should be planned as soon as possible. The aim of surgery is the complete resection of the cyst, suturing of the bronchiole openings, and the sterilization and closing of the cavity at the surgical site.…”

The objective of this analysis is to compare the pulmonary locations of lung hydatid cysts and their size with respect to their locations with available literature. The records of 82 patients who were operated for pulmonary hydatid cysts between January 2001 and December 2005 were retrospectively evaluated. One hundred eleven cysts detected in 82 patients were placed into 2 groups as those located in the right lung (group A, 55 cysts) and those located in the left lung (group B, 56 cysts), and the segments involved were investigated. The gender distribution of the patients was 40 male and 42 female, with a mean age of 35.2 Ϯ 17.64 years (range: 7-82 years). No difference was detected with respect to involvement between the 2 lungs (P ϭ 0.285). The most commonly involved segment was the posterior basal segment of the lower lobe with 15 cysts (27.3%) from group A and 20 cysts (35.7%) from group B. No involvement of the lower lobe medial basal and anteromedial basal segments was observed. The most common surgical procedures applied were cystotomy and capitonnage. The findings of the study showed that pulmonary hydatidosis were located in some segments of the lungs more frequently, primarily in the posterior segment of the lower lobe and the apicoposterior segment of the upper lobe. In addition, the higher prevalence of giant cysts in the lower lobe and their ability to produce symptoms only after being enlarged suggest a role of mechanisms other than elasticity of the lungs.

“…[3] A cyst is identifiable in chest x-ray and computed tomography (CT) scanning as a round or oval homogenous opacity that can be differentiated from pulmonary parenchyma. [4] Serological investigations have a limited value in diagnosis of lung hydatid cysts. [5] Some studies reported that in patients with pulmonary hydatid disease, the lung parenchyma should be preserved as much as possible and radical procedures must be avoided.…”

Purpose:A hydatid cyst is the most common lung parasitic disease and is endemic in Iran. A hydatid cyst is more common in the right lung and lower lobes.Objective:The aim of this study was to assess surgical treatment of pulmonary hydatid cysts and whether the location of cyst affects surgical technique approaches.Materials and Methods:This study was performed on 87 patients with a pulmonary hydatid cyst who were referred to Qaem Hospital from 2010 to 2012. Selection of surgical technique was according to size, location, and the number of cysts. Patients were divided into two groups: (1) surgery with preserving lung parenchyma and (2) lobectomy. Afterward, the relationship between the location of cyst and surgical technique approaches was evaluated. Data was analyzed by Chi-square and Fisher exact tests.Results:In this study, no significant relation was found between the size (P = 0.682) and number (P = 0.344) of cysts and lobectomy necessity. But, there was a significant relation between the occurrence of cyst in middle lobe and lobectomy necessity (P = 0.016).Conclusions:According to the results, type of surgical technique does not depend on the size and number of cysts, but it may be related to the location of the cyst and the ratio of lung destruction.
