“…Notably, voluminous cysts can exert pressure on neighboring structures, leading to mediastinal or diaphragmatic dome displacement and bronchial compression. Suspicion of cyst superinfection should arise in cases displaying specific radiological features, including thickened walls, intra-cystic air bubbles, or hydro-aerial levels (1,2).…”

Objective: Thoracic hydatid cysts represent a significant clinical challenge, particularly in endemic regions like Morocco. This retrospective study conducted at Ibn Rochd University Hospital in Casablanca aimed to elucidate the clinical characteristics, management strategies, and outcomes of 63 patients with complicated thoracic hydatid cysts. Results revealed a predominance of rural background among patients, with a mean age of 42 years. Clinical presentations varied, with common symptoms including hydatid coughing and complications such as bronchial and pleural rupture. Radiological investigations, including chest X-rays and computed tomography scans, demonstrated typical features of thoracic hydatid cysts. Treatment modalities comprised surgical intervention and medical management, with favorable outcomes observed in most cases. Discussion encompasses the endemic nature of thoracic hydatidosis, radiological appearances, complications, and challenges in management. Emphasis is placed on the importance of comprehensive approaches, including surgical techniques, medical therapy, and preventive measures, in addressing this formidable pathology. The findings underscore the need for continued research and public health initiatives to optimize the management and prevention of thoracic hydatid cysts.

“…De nombreuses localisations thoraciques inhabituelles de KH ont été décrites dans la littérature. L’atteinte médiastinale reste exceptionnelle faisant l’objet de quelques publications anecdotiques [ 5 ]. Dans les pays endémiques, elle présente 0.5% à 2.6% de l’ensemble des localisations thoraciques.…”

Le kyste hydatique (KH) est une pathologie encore endémique dans plusieurs pays notamment dans notre contexte marocain. L’atteinte pulmonaire vient au second plan après l’atteinte hépatique. Elle se caractérise par la richesse des tableaux anotomo-cliniques et la possibilité de localisations multiples dans le parenchyme pulmonaire, prédominant essentiellement aux bases. Nous rapportons le cas de Mr J.M, âgé de 54 ans, admis pour suspicion de kyste hydatique pulmonaire devant une douleur thoracique évoluant depuis 6 mois et un épisode d’hydatidoptysie. La radiographie thoracique a objectivé une image particulière de double localisation apicale illustrant en un même cliché des différents stades évolutifs du kyste hydatique pulmonaire. Le diagnostic était confirmé par la TDM thoracique et la sérologie hydatique. La localisation multiple du kyste hydatique pulmonaire n’est pas une situation rare dans les pays à forte endémie hydatique. Notre cas clinique rapporte une double localisation apicale inhabituelle du kyste hydatique et à des stades évolutifs différents.

“…Thoracic ultrasound allows confirmation of the diagnosis when the lesion is accessible. Thoracic ultrasound also reveals the fluid character of the opacity and, in many cases, the proligerous membrane, pathognomonic of HC [3,6]. It also clarifies the univesicular or multivesicular structure characteristic of HC.…”

“…It also clarifies the univesicular or multivesicular structure characteristic of HC. In the majority of cases, a chest CT can confirm the diagnosis by objectifying a mass of fluid density, often very limited, unmodified by the injection of contrast, however, contrast uptake by a pericyst can be observed [3,6]. The cyst may also include thin walls testifying to its multivesicular character.…”

Mediastinal hydatid cyst: a case report

et al. 2013

IntroductionMediastinal localization of hydatidosis is very rare even in endemic areas. The diagnosis is based on typical clinical and radiological criteria.Case presentationWe report a case of a mediastinal location of hydatidosis in a 60-year-old Arab man admitted for chest pain. The chest radiograph showed a rounded and homogeneous opacity. Computed tomography showed a right mediastinal cyst, without other thoracic or abdominal sites. Through a posterolateral thoracotomy, we found a cystic mass in the posterior mediastinum. The patient received a cystectomy with medical treatment based on albendazole. He improved a few weeks later.ConclusionMediastinal cysts remain rare, even in endemic countries, which makes initial diagnosis difficult. Our observation shows the importance of keeping this diagnosis in mind when a patient presents with signs of mediastinal compression.
