“…Echocardiography is a valuable diagnostic method for cardiac CE. 3 , 24 , 25 In all but 1 case, the preoperative diagnosis was established by echocardiography during investigations for other suspected causes. The retrocardiac area or the posterior aspect of the heart can be better evaluated with TEE.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVESThe incidence of primary extrahepatic cystic echinococcosis (CE) is rare. Generally, radiological and serological findings can help establish the diagnosis of hepatic and pulmonary CE, but a CE in an unusual location with atypical radiological findings may complicate the differential diagnosis. The objective of this study is to present the characteristics of cases with extrahepatic CE in respect of sites of involvement, clinical presentations, radiological findings, serological diagnostic evaluations, and outcomes of infected patients.DESIGN AND SETTINGSA retrospective analysis of surgically treated CE was conducted between January 1993 and January 2014 in the General Surgery, Pediatric Surgery, Urology, Cardiovascular Surgery, Neurosurgery, and Orthopedics departments of University of Cukurova, Faculty of Medicine, Balcalı Hospital.PATIENTS AND METHODSAmong the 661 patients managed for CE, 134 had unusual sites of involvement. Radiological and serological examinations were used to differentiate CE from alveolar echinococcosis.RESULTSOf 134 cases with unusual sites of involvement, 32 cases had liver CE (23.9%), 7 cases had lung CE (5.2%), and 2 cases had concomitant liver and lung CE (1.5%). In 93 (69.4%) cases, unusual organ involvement was isolated without any liver or lung involvement. The mean age was 45 years. Abdominal pain was the main symptom and was found in 104 patients. Thirty-one (23.1%) of 134 extrahepatic CE cases were evaluated as negative with indirect hemagglutination (IHA). However, positive results were obtained in 54 cases evaluated with Echinococcus granulosus IgG Western blot (WB), including 10 IHA-negative cases.CONCLUSIONCE with unusual localizations may cause serious problems of diagnostic confusion. The combination of clinical history, radiological findings, and serological test results (especially the WB) are valuable in diagnosing extrahepatic CE.

We report an adult patient in whom live three-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (3DTTE) complemented two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2DTTE) in making a definitive diagnosis of a hydatid cyst located in the left ventricular cavity. The parent hydatid cyst, as well as the daughter cysts, contained within it could be delineated by both 2DTTE and live 3DTTE. However, the tertiary or granddaughter cysts originating from the daughter cysts as well as great-granddaughter cysts budding from tertiary cysts could be visualized only when the live 3DTTE data sets were cropped and sectioned sequentially using multiple cutting planes. In addition, apparent intrinsic mobility of some of the tertiary cysts implying viability was detected only by 3DTTE.
