Mesenteric Hydatid Cyst

Abstract

The aim of this article is to make radiologists and clinicians familial with the spectrum of cystic lesions in the abdomen. Mesenteric and omental cystic lesions are uncommon. One should be familiar with them as well as with other conditions that manifest as cysts. Initial step in diagnosing a cystic abdominal mass is to localize the organ of origin. Differential diagnosis includes enteric duplication cyst, enteric cyst, mesothelial cyst, non pancreatic pseudocyst, cystic mesothelioma, cystic teratoma, and urachal cyst. There is significant overlap in imaging features of abdominal cysts, which often require histological correlation to establish a final diagnosis. The main role of imaging is to document the nature of the abdominal mass and its origin.

Epidemiological and histomorphic studies in sheep infected with hydatid cyst in Taif area

“…In addition, this may be due to hormonal differences, genetic composition, and the host-parasite relationship ( Abdel-Baki et al, 2018 ). These results agree with previous studies carried out in Saudi Arabia ( Almalki et al, 2017 ; Ibrahim, 2010 ), and in other countries ( Hayajneh et al, 2014 , Khadidja et al, 2014 , Singh, 2018 , Mehmood et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Data reported in our study showed that the most frequently affected organ is liver, followed by lungs, but mesentery reported the lowest infected rate. These findings also were supported by ( Khan et al, 2001 , Singh, 2018 ). Generally, the liver was more affected, in a proportional manner, by hydatidosis infection in all host species.…”

“…In addition, congestion of blood vessels is observed along with hemorrhage, as well as oedematous areas in some sections ( Singh et al, 2016 ). These results are also attributed to host tissue immunological reactions against parasite ( Ibrahim et al, 2008 , Khadidja et al, 2014 , Singh, 2018 ).…”

Hydatid Cyst in Children at Nelson Mandela Academic Hospital: A Five Years Study

“…Statistical analyses indicate that in children males are more likely to be infected with lung hydatid, while females were infected more with liver hydatid. In our study hydatid cyst in children affect more the liver (46%) than lungs (38%) [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14].…”

“…Rupture of the cyst to pleural cavity can also present with shortness of breath and on chest X-ray it can be confused with pneumonia pleural effusion, in which in our study some patients were inserted chest drain and found later after repeat chest x-ray and CT-chest that patient has cystic cavity [5][6][7].…”
