Kyste hydatique du foie fistulisé à la peau

Parietal complication of the hydatid disease

“…The third step is the use of radiological instruments. The most commonly employed radiological tools both to diagnose parietal complications of HD and determine the location of lesions are as follows: US, [7,17–19] CT, [27–38] MRI, [25,42] and fistulography. [3,11,16,26,48,50,52] Fistulography may be help in determining the length of a fistula's internal orifice, the size and location of fistulized lesion, and the relationship of a fistula with bile ducts, bronchopleural structures, and pelvicalyceal system.…”

Cutaneous fistula of liver echinococcal cyst previously misdiagnosed as fistulizated rib osteomyelitis

“…[17] To the best of our knowledge, the total number of reported cases concerning skin fistulization in liver echinococcosis is 15. [2345678918192021222324] Two of them are cutaneous-cysto-bronchial fistulization of LEC[920] and single report describes communication of LEC with the skin and the biliary tract and bronchi. [6] We found six additional case reports for subcutaneous rupture of EC without skin fistula opening.…”

“…Cyst usually passes through small orifice adopting an “hourglass configuration.”[1226] Spontaneous skin fistulization is possible and has been described. [2345678918192021222324] Lewall and McCorkell had classified the rupture of LEC into three categories: Contained, communicating, and direct. [34] Contained rupture occurs when only the endocyst ruptures and the cyst contents remain confined to the intact pericyst.…”
