“…In very rare cases, the larvae can also pass through the venous mesenteric lymph vessels by diffusion to enter the capillary system and systemic circulation. In pulmonary hydatidosis, the larvae can occasionally pass through the lung tissue and, by eroding to chest wall, rib and intercostal wall muscles, settle in ACW tissues [7][8][9][10][11][12] .…”

The most common location of a hydatid cyst (HC) is the liver, followed by the lungs and other organs. Hydatid cysts in the anterior chest wall are an exceedingly rare complication and much rarer if it is associated with liver HC. A 53-year-old man presented to our clinic with a painless anterior chest wall mass (ACWM). Thoraco-abdominal computed tomography revealed simple cystic masses localized in the ACWM in subcutaneous tissue with no invasion of the peripheral soft tissue and no pulmonary or rib involvement. An echinococcal indirect hemagglutination test was negative. Dermoid cyst was considered as a diagnosis and the encapsulated masses were dissected through its plane in peripheral tissue adhesion and removed completely. Macroscopic and microscopic examination of the specimens confirmed hydatid cysts. Further organ evaluation revealed the liver hydatid cyst. The patient was referred for surgery where he underwent laparotomy and drainage of cyst content and capitonaged into peritoneal cavity. This case report demonstrates that hydatid cysts should be considered as a possible cause for palpable lesions in the chest wall, especially in endemic locations.

“…The other probable mechanism for cardiac hydatid cyst is involvement via the pulmonary veins [ 3 ]. Moreover, the ingested larvae can also involve the right side of the heart through the superior vena cava and thoracic duct [ 8 ]. Anyhow, the left ventricle is the most common chamber involved by the hydatid cyst (60%) and involvement of the right ventricle has been reported in 15%, the interventricular septum in 9%, the left atrium in 8%, the right atrium in 4%, and the interatrial septum in 2% of cases.…”

Background Cystic Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection with a worldwide distribution. It is caused by the larval stages of a species of tapeworms known as Echinococcus granulosus. Even in endemic areas; Cardiac involvement by hydatidiosis is very rare and has atypical presentations as well as localization which make it undiagnosed in about 10% of cases. The left ventricle is the most Common chamber involved by the hydatid cyst and isolated involvement of the right ventricle is very rare, especially in children. The aim of the present study was to describe hydatid cardiac cyst of the right ventricle of a child. Case presentation We present a rare case of an 8 year-old boy, living in a rural area, who was diagnosed with a cardiac hydatid cyst in the right ventricle. He also had multiple pulmonary hydatid cysts and presented with dyspnea, cough and atypical chest pain. The patient underwent surgery for the resection of pulmonary cysts and, subsequently, cardiac hydatid cyst. The outcome was favorable seven weeks after surgery and there was no clinical and echocardiographic recurrence. Conclusion Cardiac Echinococcosis must be suspected in endemic areas, diagnosed with appropriate imaging techniques, and treated appropriately.

“…The most favorable for survival are moist and cool conditions. Freezing is not suitable to kill a significant number of cysts (Sabzi et al, 2013).…”

A cross-sectional study was conducted from November 2015 to April 2016 at ELFORA export abattoir to determine the prevalence, cyst viability, organ distribution and economic significance of small ruminant cystic echinococcosis. A total of 850 small ruminants (400 sheep and 450 goats), were examined for the presence of cysts by post mortem inspection. In addition, cyst viability test, organ distribution of the cyst and economic loss estimations were conducted. Out of 850 small ruminants, 73 (8.6%) were harboring single or multiple cysts. Significantly higher infection rate (p < 0.05), was observed in sheep (14.2%) than goats (3.6%). Significant variation (p < 0.05) was also observed in different age groups and origin of the animals, but there was no significant variation of cyst distribution among different organs (p> 0.05). Among 104 cysts examined, 44.2% were viable, 19.2% non-viable, 23.1% sterile and 13.5% calcified. In the present study, the total annual economic loss due to carcass rejection caused by cystic echinococcosis at ELFORA export abattoir was estimated to be 941,635.82 ETB (43,333.45USD). In conclusion, this study showed that cystic echinococcosis of small ruminants causes significant economic loss. Further study to determine prevalence of cystic echinococcosis in small ruminants in different agro ecology of the country is recommended.
