“…Since our case was operated for the hydatid cyst in the liver, it was recognized that cysts in these two organs were primary cysts from the liver. The pre-operative diagnosis of cysts in our case was conducted with USG, MRI and CT consistent with the literature (3)(4)(5)(6)11,12) and the cuticular layer of the cyst was revealed with histopathological methods post-operationally.…”

“…There are reports in the literature on the secondary hydatid cyst cases in uterus and colon (10), ovary and colon (5) due to the perforation of the primary cyst in the liver, and ruptured to the right colon from the liver (4). There are also primary CE cases reported due to involvement of the uterus (11) and colon (12). Although, Tas et al (13), suspected an ovarian neoplasm in a 44-year-old menopausal patient with complaints of abdominal distention, they encountered primary ovary and omental CE during surgery.…”

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a common helminthic disease induced by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus). According to the World Health Organization data, this disease is endemic in South America, Eastern Europe, Russia, the Middle East and China and exhibits a high annual incidence rate of 50 per 100.000 people in these regions (1,2). In humans, the organs that CE is commonly observed are the liver and the lungs. Cysts are identified less frequently in other organs. Cysts may be localized in an organ and structure such as abdominal or pleural cavities, kidney, spleen, bone, brain, eye, ovary,

“…While the presence of hydatid cysts in locations such as the liver and the lungs is anticipated, the observation of such cysts in the retroperitoneum without the involvement of any other organs is very uncommon. It would be wise to include hydatid disease in the differential diagnosis of a retroperitoneal cystic tumor, especially in cases where patients come from endemic areas [ 7 ]. The presence of hydatid disease in uncommon sites may be secondary, due to cyst rupture and spillage of its content, or primary through implantation via the lymphatic vessels of the gastrointestinal tract and the hepatic portal system [ 8 ].…”

“…The first primary retroperitoneal echinococcal cyst was reported in 1958 [10]. Since then, a few similar cases have been reported in the existing literature [7,[11][12][13][14]. In a retrospective study of 121 cases of retroperitoneal echinococcosis, 68 patients were treated surgically.…”

Cystic echinococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus and causes significant morbidity, especially in endemic areas. It may remain asymptomatic for a long period. The clinical presentation depends on the exertion of pressure on adjacent organs or the sudden rupture of formed cysts. The presence of primary retroperitoneal echinococcal cysts, with no other organ involvement, has been scarcely reported in the literature. The aim of this study is to present the case of a 69-year-old male complaining of right flank pain for a month. Abdominal CT and MRI were performed, both revealing a large retroperitoneal mass measuring 18 centimeters in diameter, with daughter cysts and spots of calcification. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for hydatid was positive. The patient denied any prior history of hydatidosis; thus, the diagnosis of a primary retroperitoneal echinococcal cyst was established. The patient underwent a successful total cystectomy and is in follow-up, reporting no recurrence of symptoms. Although the presence of echinococcal cysts in locations other than the liver or the lungs is rare, clinicians should always consider the possibility of a hydatid cyst diagnosis and perform the required diagnostic tests.

“…Cystic echinococcosis accounts for approximately 95% of all echinococcosis , while hepatic cystic echinococcosis accounts for approximately 75% of all cystic echinococcosis [ 3 ]. To date, there are numerous reports about single infections of cystic or alveolar echinococcosis in different organs[ 4 , 5 ], but there reports about mixed infections of cystic and alveolar echinococcosis in the same organ are rare. In this study, a typical case was chosen from the 4 patients with mixed infection of hepatic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis who were treated in the Division of General Surgery of Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital.…”

BACKGROUND Mixed infection of hepatic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis is extremely rare. This article reveals the typical imaging manifestations of cystic and alveolar echinococcosis and investigates the diagnosis and surgical experience of mixed infection of hepatic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis . CASE SUMMARY From January 2017 to May 2019, 4 cases with rare mixed infection of hepatic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis were admitted and treated by the Division of General Surgery of Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital. Three of the patients occasionally had upper abdominal discomfort, but it did not affect their daily lives. However, hepatic echinococcosis was found in one patient by physical examination, and the patient had no discomfort. All 4 cases were Tibetans who had lived in pastoral areas of southern Qinghai for a long time. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for echinococcosis was positive for all patients. Moreover, abdominal computed tomography showed typical imaging manifestations of cystic and alveolar echinococcosis including coexisting “honeycomb sign,” and “spotted calcification.” Three of the patients underwent radical resection, and 1 case underwent palliative resection. All 4 patients developed different types of surgical complications after the operation, but all of them recovered and were discharged after symptomatic treatment. CONCLUSION There are no problems diagnosing mixed infection of hepatic cystic and alveolar echinococcosis . The difficulties involve preoperative evaluation and treatment of surgical complications.
