“…There is also the risk of rupture, especially with thin‐walled subcapsular cysts. Rupture and spillage can then lead to secondary peritoneal echinococcosis and anaphylaxis 5,34,35. We often found rather viscous cyst contents and thick cyst membranes; these could not be drained off and required deroofing.…”

Abstract:The incidence of hydatid disease of the liver caused by Echinococcus granulosus in Austria, a nonendemic region in central Europe, is documented over a 10-year period. Since 1984, 28 patients (24 women, 4 men) with hydatid disease of the liver have undergone surgery in our department. A definitive diagnosis was established by combining serological tests (an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay with Echinococcus multilocularis antigen and an indirect hemagglutination assay with Echinococcus granulosus antigen) and abdominal imaging (computed tomography scan and ultrasonography). Twenty-four patients (85.7%) had uncomplicated echinococcosis; in most of them (16) total closed pericystectomy was done. Four patients (14.3%) had complicated echinococcosis, suffering from intrabiliary rupture and spontaneous perforation into the peritoneal cavity, and in two of these patients (7.1%) pyogenic transformation, one with abscess perforation, Occurred. Postoperative complications were significantly more common in patients with complicated echinococcosis and included two bile leaks (necessitating prolonged tube drainage), pleural effusion, atelectasis, and wound infection. One recurrence of hydatid infection due to previous spontaneous perforation required reoperation 4 years after the primary event. The low recurrence rate of uncomplicated echinococcosis (0%) over a mean period of 5.6 years and of 3.6 % when peritoneal echinococcosis was included may be the result of the radical surgical technique employed.

“…Approximately 80% of pelvic echinococcal cysts involve the genital tract, with the ovary being the most common location, followed by the uterus5, 6, 12. However, any part of the pelvis may be involved, including the rectum1, 11, the small and the large bowel11, the urinary bladder1, 7, 11, bones and joints8 and the retroperitoneum9. In the present case, organ involvement was rather unusual, with the pelvic echinococcal cyst adhered to the omentum, the posterior surface of the left broad uterine ligament and the pelvic floor.…”

“…Echinococcal cysts of the pelvis are rare with an incidence varying between 0.2% and 2.25% in published series1–6. Pelvic echinococcal cysts may involve any part of the pelvis6–12 and may be associated with unusual presentations13, 14. We report here a rare case of a pelvic echinococcal cyst with an unusual sonographic presentation mimicking a multicystic ovary.…”
