“…Hydatid cysts are endemic in some areas of the world, such as Iran. The disease is usually found in the liver (75%) and the lung (15%), but can develop anywhere else in the body (10%), with frequent reports in the kidney, spleen, central nervous system, pancreas, adrenal, peritoneum, soft tissue, and the breast (3)(4)(5)(6)(7). A hydatid cyst of the breast is a rare disease, although it has been reported more frequently in recent years (6,8).…”

Introduction: A hydatid cyst of the breast is an extremely rare condition caused by Echinococcus granulosus, even in endemic countries, which accounts for 0.27% of all cases. Only a few reports have been published in the literature about breast hydatid cysts. Patients usually present with a palpable and painless lump in the breast. Clinically, it is difficult to differentiate breast hydatid cysts from more common breast lesions. However, imaging plays an important role, and often helps to distinguish this rare cystic disease of the breast from other breast masses. Case Presentation: Iran is an endemic area for Echinococcus granulosus, and we present six cases of primary breast hydatid cysts which were diagnosed over the course of 10 years in our institution. We aimed to present the mammographic and ultrasonographic findings for these patients. Conclusions: Hydatid cysts should be considered in the diagnosis of cystic lesions of the breast, particularly in endemic areas.

“…Conversion rates in laparoscopic surgery for liver hydatidosis have been reported as 4-30% in previous reports [7, 18–20]. Inappropriate exposure of cysts, intra-abdominal adhesions, and bleeding has been reported as the most common causes [7, 18–20].…”

Introduction. Hydatidosis is a zoonotic infection and treatment is mandatory to avoid complications. Surgery remains the first choice in the treatment especially for CE2-CE3b cysts. Open or laparoscopic approaches are available. However, comparative studies are limited. Materials and Methods. Data of patients who underwent cystotomy/partial cystectomy for liver hydatidosis between January 2012 and September 2016 (n=77) were evaluated retrospectively. Recurrent cases and the patients with previous hepatobiliary surgery were excluded. 23 patients were operated upon laparoscopically and named as Group 1. 48 patients operated conventionally named as Group 2. Demographics, cyst characteristics, operative time, length of hospital stay, recurrences, and surgery related complications were evaluated. Results. Groups were similar in terms of demographics, cyst characteristics, and operative time. The length of hospital stay was 3.4 days in Group 1 and 4.7 days in Group 2 (p=0,007). The mean follow-up period was 17.8 months and 21.7 months, respectively (p=0.170). Overall complication rates were similar in two groups (p=0.764). Three conversion cases occurred (13%). One mortality was seen in Group 2. Four recurrences occurred in each group (17% versus 8.3%, respectively) (p=0.258). Conclusions. Laparoscopy is a safe and feasible approach for surgical treatment of liver hydatidosis. Recurrence may be prevented by selection of appropriate cases in which exposure of cysts does not pose an intraoperative difficulty.

“…Similar to intermediate hosts, ingested larvae penetrate the systemic or lymphatic circulation from the intestinal mucosa and finally reside in different organs, mostly the liver and lungs (6,13). Rarely, the larvae may also infest the muscles, kidneys, spleen, bones, and breasts (5,7,9,10,14).…”

Introduction: Hydatid disease is an infection caused by the larval form of Echinococous granulosus and is endemic in animal husbandry communities. Hydatid disease of the breast is rare and occurs in less than 1% of the cases. In this paper, we presented a known case of hepatic hydatidosis readmitted due to hydatid cyst of the breast. Case Presentation: A 38-year-old woman, a known case of neglected hepatic hydatidosis since eight years ago, presented to our hospital with new onset of abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed signs of hydatid cysts in the liver, spleen, and both breasts. Laparotomy with complete resection of the hydatid cysts in the right lobe of the liver was performed along with cholecystectomy due to the closeness of the cysts to the gallbladder and severe adhesions. The patient also underwent splenectomy and cystectomy of the breasts. Histopathologic report of the resected cysts from the breasts, liver, and spleen confirmed the diagnosis of hydatidosis. The patient was discharged with albendazole (10 mg/kg daily for three weeks) and was advised to come back to the clinic for follow-up evaluations. Conclusions: Although breast hydatidosis is rare, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of breast lumps presenting in endemic areas and among immigrants from endemic areas.
