“…MRI done was not able to do exact characterization and the report was suggestive of benign cyst. The differential diagnosis therefore includes branchial cleft cyst, bronchogenic, thymic, parathyroid, thoracic duct, and foregut-derived (esophageal duplication) cysts, pseudocysts or benign tumor that is congenital and acquired cystic lesions of the neck [2]. …”

Primary cervical hydatid cyst: a rare occurrence

Hydatid disease, a parasitic infection is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It has serious impact on health and economy especially in countries where it is endemic. It occurs frequently in liver and lung. The disease is chronic and cyst can localize in different organs. A hydatid cyst occurrence in the head and neck is extremely rare. To know the distribution of disease can help in its control and prevention. We report a case of primary cervical hydatid cyst in 20 year old female. A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose hydatid cyst in rare locations like this. Hydatid cyst should be considered in differential diagnosis of benign swellings of head and neck region, so that it can be managed during surgery to prevent acute anaphylaxis.Virtual slidesThe virtual slides’ for this article can be found here: http://www.diagnosticpathology.diagnomx.eu/vs/4915595218376646

“…Hydatid cyst is most frequently involved in the liver and lungs, and rarely in the bone, brain, eye, heart, kidney and spleen [3]. It is extremely rare in the cervicofacial region, and its incidence is unknown [5]. Atypical localization of hydatid cyst may be challenged the diagnosis of hydatid disease [2].…”

Hydatid disease, also known as echinococcosis or hydatidosis, is an infectious disease caused by the cestode Echinococcus. Echinococcus granulosus is the most common Echinococcus species affecting human beings. It may affect any organ and tissue in the body, in particular the liver and lung. Musculoskeletal or soft tissue hydatidosis accounts for about 0.5% 5% of all echinococcal infections in endemic areas, and is almost always secondary to the hepatic or pulmonary disease. Even in regions where echinococcosis is endemic, hydatidosis of cervicofacial region is extremely rare. Herein, we present exceptionally rare case with an unusual localization of primary hydatid cyst in the left supraclavicular region of the neck.KeywordsHydatid cyst; Supraclavicular region; Neck; Unusual localization

“…In India, the pockets of high prevalence are Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and West Bengal. [2] The lungs and liver are primary sites of localization for the hydatid disease, however 10% are reported to occur in unusual sites such as the peritoneum,[9] thyroid,[10] submandibular gland,[10] breast,[11] pancreas,[12] pericardium,[12] parotid gland,[13] and the supraclavicular soft tissue. [14] The involvement of Echinococcus granulosus in children has a different pattern compared to adults, as the lungs are more commonly affected than the liver.…”

Coexistent axillary hydatid disease and tuberculosis: Case report of an extremely rare occurrence

Tuberculous infection is highly prevalent in India, however, hydatid disease is relatively uncommon. Frequent sites of predilection of hydatid disease are the liver and lungs. Other unusual sites of infliction are the peritoneum, thyroid, breast, pancreas, and mediastinum. Hydatid disease in the axilla is quite uncommon. We hereby report a case of coexistent axillary hydatid disease with tuberculous lymphadenitis. To the best of our knowledge, even after extensive search of the literature we did not come across any such case. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) is a cost-effective procedure performed on an outpatient basis and helped clinch a prompt diagnosis, with minimum discomfort or complications. The role of FNAC in early diagnosis cannot be overemphasized.
