“…Since the mediastinal cystic lesion was ruptured and fistulization to the skin was present, swelling was the only symptom in our case. Bilio-bronchial fistula due to hydatid disease and aorto-bronchial fistula cases leading to massive hemoptysis was also reported in the literature [7, 8]. …”

Echinococcosis/hydatidosis is a frequent parasitic and zoonotic disease in the population engaged with agriculture and stockbreeding. It is seen most frequently in the liver and lung in adults. Mediastinal location of the disease is very rare. In this study we aimed to present a 31-year-old man having hydatid disease in the anterior mediastinum fistulated to the skin in the right subclavicular region, together with the literature. The patient was operated on through a partial sternotomy incision, and excision of the cyst and the fistula was performed.

“…The aortic wall may also be involved secondary to invasion of the cyst from adjacent tissues (7, 8) similar to that which we had encountered. Aortic involvement may display as pseudoaneurysm (7–9), organ ischemia due to aortic occlusion (5, 6), remote ischemia due to daughter cysts embolization (10, 11, 12), simple cystic mass (3), or even aortobronchial fistula (12). Treatment in all patients with aortic involvement consists of surgical resection of the cyst and its content, and long-term medical therapy.…”

Cystic echinococcosis is a common parasitic disease in some areas and involves different organs with different presentations. Rural areas in our country are endemic with this disease. We present a case of echinococcal aortic involvement that was diagnosed incidentally by a routine chest radiogram as a mediastinal mass. Cystic echinococcosis was established as final diagnosis after magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and ELISA studies. The patient was treated surgically through a thoracotomy and her aortic defect was repaired during the operation. She has been asymptomatic and complication free in physical examination and imaging study in follow up periods after two years. Awareness of various presentations of the disease is necessary for physicians who are occupied in endemic areas. It is rational to treat echinococcal cysts adjacent to the great vessels with the cooperation of a vascular surgeon.
