“…Computed tomography or ultrasound guided needle biopsies also are helpful in diagnosis (12), although some authors do not recommend it because of the risk of cyst rupture and anaphylactic reaction could occur (9,11). Concerns over microscopic spillage at the time of needle biopsy do not appear warranted, especially if patient receive subsequent medical treatment and biopsy tracts are resected at the time of surgery (13).…”

Primer Hydatid Cyst in Paravertebral Muscle

Hydatid cysts may occur in any area of the body, but usually localize to the liver and the lungs. Primary localization in muscle isn't common, accounting for 2-3 % of all sites. We presented a patient with hydatid cyst, diagnosed by ultrasonography and computed tomography, and the cyst was located in the paravertebral muscle of the patient. Surgical and medical treatment combination.The intact intramuscular cyst was completely excised. Postoperatively, the patient began receiving albendazol 400 mg twice daily, for 6 months. At two years postoperatively, a clinical and radiological examination yielded no evidence of recurrence.

“…In our case, the patient presented with features of small gut obstruction because of an inflammatory band. Imaging studies may suggest hydatid cyst [7,8]. Imaging studies in our case showed a low-attenuation cystic lesion reported as an abscess or pseudoepancreatic cyst.…”

“…Albendazole is a useful drug for intraoperative spillage and to reduce the risk of recurrence. Ultrasoundguided percutaneous aspiration along with albendazole has also been described as an attractive alternative [8,9]. Nowadays, in the era of minimal invasive surgery, with advanced techniques, it can be excised laparoscopically also [10].…”

Isolated retroperitoneal hydatid cyst is an exceptionally rare entity. Owing to vague and varied symptomatology, it is seldom diagnosed without puncture cytology or surgery. We report an unusual presentation of primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst with concomitant small gut obstruction. Ultrasonography and computed tomography of the abdomen showed localized abscess or pseudocyst of pancreas. Preoperatively, ultrasound-guided puncture cytology of the lesion revealed suspicious hydatid pathology. The patient was examined and, peroperatively, the cyst masqueraded as hydatid cyst of pancreas along with an inflammatory band, and the diagnostic dilemma about its exact site of origin was solved by histopathology only. Complete excision of the cyst along with the tail of pancreas was done with concomitant excision of inflammatory band, causing small intestinal obstruction. The patient was discharged in satisfactory condition on albendazole. In follow-up of 8 months, there was no recurrence.

“…The location of RVHC can be subdivided into two categories, those developing chiefly in the greater peritoneal or abdominal cavity (cited as intraperitoneal type: 18 cases), and the others chiefly in the confined pelvic or lesser peritoneal cavity (cited as subperitoneal type: nine cases); the subperitoneal type was more liable to induce ureteral compression and more difficult to approach surgically . The predominant symptom due to RVHC was burning micturition (13 cases); physical examination revealed a pelvic mass in 17 patients and preoperative diagnosis was based on intravenous pyelography, ultrasonography (see also Ranzini et al 2002), CT (see also Yilmaz et al 2002), and serologic tests.…”

This paper reviews the literature on zoonotic cestode infections with specific reference to the years 1999-2003. The sources and prevalence of various zoonotic tapeworm infections caused by adult and larval stages of the genera Taenia, Echinococcus, Diphyllobothrium, Hymenolepis and Dipylidium continue to be an important cause of morbidity and mortality, not only in most underdeveloped countries but also in industrialized countries, particularly in rural areas or among immigrant groups from endemic areas. The review gives a detailed report on recent molecular epidemiological studies on the taxonomy and phylogenetic variations in Echinococcus granulosus, immunological tests and imaging techniques used in epidemiological surveys and clinical investigations of important adult and larval tapeworm infections of animals and humans. Larval stages or metacestodes of Taenia solium, Echinococcus spp. and pseudophyllidean tapeworms (Spirometra syn. Diphyllobothrium spp.) may reside in various tissues of their intermediate hosts, including humans. In particular, Cysticercus cellulosae (T. solium) and the larvae of E. granulosus, and E. multilocularis, which are predominantly located in the liver, lungs and central nervous system forming various types of cysts, lead to a complex of systemic diseases such as cysticercosis, cystic echinococcosis and alveolar echinococcosis, respectively. Relatively rare clinical manifestations are seen in the muscles, subcutaneous tissue, spleen, kidneys, bones and body cavities.

Primary hydatid cyst in the retroperitoneal space: role of CT

Abstract: Localization of hydatid disease in the retroperitoneal space is extremely rare. We present the CT findings in a patient with echinococcal disease (E. Granulosus) in whom the cyst was localized to the retroperitoneum.
