“…Although aspiration of hydatid cysts has been discouraged due to the association of various complications, some authors [20] have used aspiration of these cysts for the diagnosis. Concerns over microscopic spillage at the time of needle biopsy do not appear warranted, especially if patients receive subsequent medical treatment and biopsy tracts are resected at the time of surgery [21].…”

Gluteal region musculoskeletal hydatid cyst: Case report and review of literature

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation of humans and herbivorous animals, caused by Echinococcu granulosus. Dogs and some wild carnivores, like foxes, are definitive hosts, harboring worms in their intestines. Musculoskeletal cysts account for 0.7-3% of total cases of hydatidosis. Primarymuscular hydatidosis without involving the thoracic or abdominal organs is extremely rare. Intramuscular infestation may mimic a soft tissue tumor leading to inappropriate cyst rupture with the attendant risks of anaphylaxis and dissemination to other organs. So preoperative evaluation is critical to avoid lifethreatening complications. We report a case of 34-year-old male patient with a cystic gluteal swelling turning out to be hydatid cyst on surgical exploration. Surgical excision with a pharmacology complementary treatment with antihelementhics is necessary to achieve the complete healing.

Laparoscopic management of renal and hepatic hydatidosis in a child: a case report and review of literature

2017

Hydatidosis is an endemic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Humans are accidental intermediate hosts. In children, it affects the lung in 64% of cases and the liver in 28%. Renal involvement is uncommon (2-4%). We operated 7 years old girl with renal and hepatic hydatidosis laparoscopically. Hydatid cyst should be kept as one of differential diagnosis while managing cystic disease of any organ in the body. To the best of our knowledge this is the first case of renal hydatidosis with hepatic hydatidosis that has been managed laparoscopically. Laparoscopic surgery is safe and efficacious in managing multiorgan hydatid disease in children.

“…The objective is to remove all infective elements with no contamination or spillage and the goal of surgery is total cyst excision without spillage or contamination of the operative field (Figure 4) [1,12] Whenever possible, the cyst should be excised, if necessary, along with some normal tissue such as partial nephrectomy or nephron-sparing pericystectomy [1,[70][71][72]. Nephrectomy is reserved for destroyed kidneys ( Figure 5) [70].…”
