Hydatid cyst of femur, radiologically mimicking a sarcoma

Abstract: Hydatid disease is a rare pathology, but relatively common in the Mediterranean, the Middle East, Central Asia, and East Africa. It may develop in almost any part of the body, although most hydatid cysts occur in the liver or in the lung. Bone involvement is rare, and accounts for only 0.5% to 4% of all locations. Most of the hydatid cyst are diagnosed on the basis of their clinical and radiological presentation. However, in cases with an atypical presentation, FNAC may be used to evaluate the nature of lesion. Show more

“…In terms of management, hydatid disease of the pelvic bone is particularly a serious clinicopathologic entity as the cyst in this location may invade pelvic joints, which can potentially make complete recovery difficult. Although the definitive treatment of bony hydatidosis is surgery, a number of studies have highlighted the combination of antihelminthic chemotherapy and surgery as a feasible choice [2]. In the published medical literature, several surgical methods, including simple drainage or debridement, complete excision, total hip arthroplasty, bone grafting, and hemipelvectomy have been reported thus far [8].…”

“…It is mainly prevalent in pastoral areas, especially in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, and Tibet. Bone echinococcosis is rare, accounting for 0.5 to 4.0% of all echinococcosis [1,2]. It is likely to miss the diagnosis and misdiagnose due to nonspecific early symptoms, and the clinical manifestations and imaging features are similar to those of bone tumor, bone cyst, and other diseases.…”
