“…6 Because the presence of a cystopancreatic fistula may cause a long-lasting pancreatic leak after fenestration, 7,12,14 a derivative/resective procedure is preferred in these cases. 7,15 Intraoperative cholangiopancreatography is currently proposed to identify a fistula between the cyst and the MPD, thus leading to the most appropriate surgical treatment. 12 Magnetic resonance imaging 12 and, in our experience, EUS, may give this same information preoperatively, thus allowing for planning the correct surgical strategy.…”

“…Also, depending on the cyst's location, several procedures have been proposed, ranging from cyst fenestration 7,12,14 to internal derivation 8,13,15 to central 5 or distal pancreatectomy. 6 Because the presence of a cystopancreatic fistula may cause a long-lasting pancreatic leak after fenestration, 7,12,14 a derivative/resective procedure is preferred in these cases.…”

“…[10,11] The embryos reach the pancreas most commonly through the hematogenous spread, local spread from the biliary system, lymphatic passage from the intestinal mucosa and retroperitoneal spread. [7,11] PCE is usually seen in men and in the 3 rd -4 th decades of life. [9,11] PCE may occur as primary (isolated pancreas) or secondary (multiple organs).…”

“…[5] Pancreatic cystic echinococcosis (PCE) is an unusual localization of involvement with a prevalence of 0.2-0.6%. [6,7] PCE may cause recurrent acute pancreatitis by compression or fistulization to the pancreatic duct and obstructive jaundice. [8][9][10] In this report, we presented a 45-year-old male patient who was examined due to an acute pancreatitis attack and treated with the diagnosis of PCE.…”

Echinococcosis is a zoonotic infestation, most commonly arises from Echinococcus granulosus helminth. The definitive hosts are carnivora, such as dogs and cats, and the intermediate hosts are herbivores, including cattle, sheep and goats. Humans are intermediate hosts, causing cystic echinococcosis. In our country, the incidence of echinococcos is 14%. The disease is localized in the liver by 70%. Cyst hydatid localized in the pancreas is unusual, with an incidence of 0.2-0.6%, and rarely causes acute pancreatitis. In this report, we present a 45-year-old male patient with cyst hydatid, which manifested by an acute pancreatitis attack. In the examination, there was a CE2 type according to WHO classification stage III cyst hydatid of 97 mm diameter with septa associated with Wirsung duct, acute pancreatitis and splenomegaly. The indirect hemagglutination test was >1: 2560. The patient underwent pancreatectomy and splenectomy following medical therapy with Albendazole tablet for four weeks. IHA of the patient was found as 1/32 in the third month. Cyst hydatid should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all cystic masses, especially in the regions where the disease is endemic. In addition, it should be remembered that although rarely seen, pancreatic cyst hydatid may cause acute pancreatitis.

“…Furthermore, depending on the cyst's location, several procedures have been suggested, ranging from cyst fenestration, internal derivation, to central or distal pancreatectomy [5-7,15-17]. As the presence of a cystopancreatic fistula may cause a long-lasting pancreatic leak after fenestration [5,16], a derivative/resective procedure is preferred in such cases.…”

Acute pancreatitis due to pancreatic hydatid cyst: a case report and review of the literature

et al. 2012

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Hydatid disease is a major health problem worldwide. Primary hydatid disease of the pancreas is very rare and acute pancreatitis secondary to hydatid cyst has rarely been reported. We report the case of a 38-year-old man who presented acute pancreatitis. A diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the pancreas, measuring 10 cm, was established by abdominal computed tomography before surgery. The treatment consisted of a distal pancreatectomy. The postoperative period was uneventful. Additionally, a review of the literature regarding case reports of acute pancreatitis due to pancreatic hydatid cyst is presented.
