“…Mediastinal hydatid cysts are very rare, representing less than 0.1% of all localizations and less than 1% in the thorax. 1 Mediastinal hydatid cysts occur more frequently in the posterior mediastinum. Compared with intrapulmonary cysts, calcifi cations are more frequently found in mediastinal cysts.…”

“…asymptomatic; the lesion being discovered incidentally on a routine chest X-Ray. 1,6 Radiological imaging consists of a chest X-Ray and thoracic computed tomography (CT) facilitating diagnosis of a cystic mass. However, it is very diffi cult to confi rm the hydatid nature of the cyst as the lesion is rarely round.…”

“…3 Systematic abdominal ultrasound should be performed in all cases, considering that the liver is the primary organ for hydatid disease. 1 Serological tests are often negative when the cyst is intact and uncomplicated. Fine needle CT guided aspiration is still considered dangerous however it can be useful for diagnosis despite the risk of dissemination and anaphylactic shock.…”

“…Several conditions must be considered according to the location of the lesion. In posterior mediastinal localization the following diagnoses must be ruled out: 1,6 • bronchogenic cyst: the lesion is located beside or in contact with the bronchus and/or trachea and there are no changes after contrast infusion, • enteric cyst: right side location essentially and an association with vertebral abnormalities, • cystic lymphangioma: usually the lesion is cervical, and occasionally presents with mediastinal extension, • neurogenic tumors, • paravertebral masses.…”

Hydatid cystic disease is still a health problem in Morocco. Mediastinal localization is very rare. We report the case of a 24-year-old man who presented with right chest pain and dyspnea. Chest X-Ray and computed tomography showed a mediastinal mass. The diagnosis was confirmed perioperatively by macroscopic and histologic investigations. Resection of the cyst was performed, and a small part intimately adherent to the inferior vena cava and oesophagus was left in place. There were no complications or recurrence.

“…So, lung is the second most frequent site of hydatid cyst. The other reported possible sites are urinary tract, 5 heart, 6 adrenal gland, 7 spleen, 8 mediastinum, 9 central nervous system, 10 spine 11 and other bones, 12 soft tissues, 13,14,15 kidney, 16,17 peritoneum, 17 retroperitoneal space 16 etc.…”

Hydatid cyst of orbit is a rare cause of proptosis, even in endemic regions. So far, Hydatid cyst of the orbit,has not been reported from Nepal. We report a 7-year-old boy, who presented with initially painful, laterpainless axial proptosis of the right eye without ocular movements and perception of light. As the case wasclinically diagnosed as retinoblastoma or rhabdomyosarcoma, the exenteration was carried out.The retroorbitalcyst containing gel-like fluid was histopathologically examined and the diagnosis of hydatid cyst wasconfirmed. Although rare, orbital hydatid cyst should be considered as one of the differential diagnoses ofunilateral severe proptosis.Key Words: Orbit, Hydatid cyst, Proptosis.

This paper reviews the literature on zoonotic cestode infections with specific reference to the years 1999-2003. The sources and prevalence of various zoonotic tapeworm infections caused by adult and larval stages of the genera Taenia, Echinococcus, Diphyllobothrium, Hymenolepis and Dipylidium continue to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality, not only in most underdeveloped countries but also in industrialized countries, particularly in rural areas or among immigrant groups from endemic areas. The review gives a detailed report on recent molecular epidemiological studies on the taxonomy and phylogenetic variations in Echinococcus granulosus, immunological tests and imaging techniques used in epidemiological surveys and clinical investigations of important adult and larval tapeworm infections of animals and humans. Larval stages or metacestodes of Taenia solium, Echinococcus spp. and pseudophyllidean tapeworms (Spirometra syn. Diphyllobothrium spp.) may reside in various tissues of their intermediate hosts, including humans. In particular, Cysticercus cellulosae (T. solium) and the larvae of E. granulosus, and E. multilocularis, which are predominantly located in the liver, lungs and central nervous system forming various types of cysts, lead to a complex of systemic diseases such as cysticercosis, cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis, respectively. Relatively rare clinical manifestations are seen in the muscles, subcutaneous tissue, spleen, kidneys, bones and body cavities.
