“…This corresponds to types 1–3 in the Kodama classification. We observed in the pathological examination of our cases, that the most important feature accompanying parasitic structures was intense necrosis, which was also reported as the most prominent pathological feature in the previously published FNAB study [ 11 ]. Based on these data, one may conclude that sampling from central or necrotic zones of a lesion rather than its peripheral zones may increase the likelihood of making an accurate diagnosis.…”

Background: This study retrospectively analyzed the clinical data, laboratory results, imaging findings, and histopathological features of 28 patients who underwent ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy from a hepatic lesion and were diagnosed with alveolar echinococcosis. Results: Among 28 patients included in the study, 16 were females and 12 were males. The mean age of the studied population was 53 ± 16 years, and the age range was 18–79 years. The most common presenting symptom was abdominal pain, which was observed in 14 patients. A total of 36 lesions were detected in the patients’ livers, out of which 7 had a cystic appearance. Hepatic vascular involvement, bile duct involvement, and other organ involvement were depicted in 14, 5, and 7 patients, respectively. The average number of cores taken from the lesions was 2.7, ranging between 2 and 5. In histopathological evaluation, PAS+ parasitic membrane structures were visualized on a necrotic background in all cases. Regarding seven patients, who were operated, the pathological findings of preoperative percutaneous biopsies were in perfect agreement with the pathological examinations after surgical resections. None of the patients developed major complications after biopsy. Conclusion: Ultrasound-guided core-needle biopsy is a minimally invasive, reliable, and effective diagnostic tool for the definitive diagnosis of hepatic alveolar echinococcosis.

“…Serologic testing is controversial in the diagnosis of hydatid disease. 10,11 Histopathologically, the demonstration of an acellular, thick, lamellar cyst wall confirms the diagnosis. The main role of serologic testing is in the follow-up of the treated patients, in whom a decrease in titer indicates resolution and an increase is likely to indicate recurrence of disease.…”

“…The diagnosis of hydatid cyst can be made by serology and imaging studies but the confirmation relies on histopathological examination and cytology findings. On cytology, findings that are consistent with hydatid cysts are presence of protoscolices, hooklets, fragments of laminated membrane and amorphous necrotic debris in the background [2][3][4][5] . Some cases however shows only laminated membranes in the inflammatory background [8][9][10] .…”

“…The disease is distributed worldwide; however it is endemic in sheep-raising regions especially Mediterranean countries [1] . Very few cases of fine needle aspiration cytology of hydatid cysts has been described previously [2][3][4][5] . It is still a matter of debate that fine needle aspiration cytology of hydatid cyst is safe or not.…”

Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease caused by larvae of Echinococcus. The disease is distributed worldwide. However there are very few reports on cytology findings of hydatid disease as FNA in such cases is contraindicated. Usually hydatid disease is diagnosed on histopathology, but recently fine needle aspiration cytology of hydatid cyst is emerging and is still an issue of debate that whether it can cause dissemination of parasite in the body or not . Due to fewer studies on cytology it poses a problem in diagnosing hydatid disease on cytology. We present two case reports of hydatid cyst on cytology. Keywords: Hydatid cyst, Hydatid disease, Echinococcus larvae.
