“…Pain, usually a dull dragging ache, is often the first clinical sign. There can be dyspepsia, constipation due to pressure on colon, dyspnea due to pushing up of the left diaphragm,[13] fistula of the colon[1213] or perforation into the diaphragm or bronchial tree[1014] However, up to 30% of the cases are incidental findings in asymptomatic individuals.

Hydatid cyst of spleen: A diagnostic challenge

2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Although splenic involvement alone in hydatid disease is very rare, spleen is the third most common organ involved in hydatid disease. The rarity of splenic hydatid disease poses a diagnostic challenge for clinicians, particularly in non-endemic areas. As the hydatid cyst can present as a simple cyst without having the classic serological and imaging features, and later can lead to life-threatening complications like anaphylaxis, hydatid disease of spleen should be considered in differential in every patient in endemic areas with cystic lesion of spleen until proved otherwise. The author used the keyword “splenic hydatid cyst” in PubMed and reviewed the scientific literatures published from January 1965 to June 2012. The present review is to accentuate the incidence, classification, clinical and pathophysiological features, differential diagnosis, diagnostic modalities, and treatment choices of hydatid cyst of spleen along with follow-up strategy and newer treatment approaches.

“…The most common sign is splenomegaly (Kireşi et al, 2003;Singh et al, 2003). Symptoms of splenic hydatid cysts are non specific (Alfageme et al, 1994), such as, abdominal lump, abdominal ache, dyspepsia, constipation due to pressure on colon, and dyspnea due to pushing up of the left diaphragm (Malik et al, 2011). The patient was complaining for abdominal dull pain for 2 years in our case.…”

ÖZETKist hidatik dalakta en sık görülen parazitik kist sebebidir. Dalakta izole olabilecekleri gibi dissemine ekinokokkozisin bir parçası olarak da bulunabilirler. Bu yazıda splenektomi ve ototransplantasyonla tedavi ettiğimiz bir splenik kist hidatik vakasını sunmaktayız. On yedi yaşında bayan hasta hastanemize karın ağrısı şikayetiyle başvurdu. Hastaya primer dalak kist hidatiği tanısı konularak splenektomi ve ototransplantasyon yapıldı. Sonuç olarak dalaktaki kistik lezyonların kist hidatik açısından değerlendirilmesini öneriyoruz. Splenektomi ve ototransplantasyon hem tedavide hem de dalak fonksiyonlarının korunmasında etkindir.J. Exp. Clin. Med., 2012; 29:239-241 Hydatid cyst is the most common cause of parasitic cysts in spleen. Hydatid cysts may be isolated in spleen or as a part of disseminated echinoccosis. We report here a case of splenic hydatid cyst which we treated with splenectomy and autotransplantation. A seventeen year old female admitted to hospital complaining dull abdominal pain. Patient was diagnosed with primary splenic cyst hydatic and we performed splenectomy and autotransplantation. In conclusion, we recommend that cystic lesions of the spleen should be examined for hydatid cyst. Splenectomy and autotransplantation is useful for both treatment and for preservation of splenic functions.

Trauma Case Reports

SummaryThe rupture of an Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cyst in the spleen due to trauma is a rare event. In this case report we describe the case of a 39-year-old Lebanese male victim of a motor vehicle accident with a ruptured solitary splenic hydatid cyst discovered by CT scan and excised during exploratory laparotomy.Echinococcosis or hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation by the Echinococcus genus of tapeworm. The eggs of E. granulosus, a species of Echinococcus, are fecal-orally transmitted to human hosts, most often from dog feces, and manifest as cystic lesions termed hydatid. E. granulosus most commonly affects the liver (75%), lungs (15%), and rarely the spleen (2–5%) [1], [2]. E. granulosus is particularly endemic to cattle rearing areas of the Middle East. Infected patients most commonly present with vague abdominal pain, as a result of mass effect or spontaneous rupture of the cyst. Nevertheless, patient presentation may be due to traumatic rupture of a hydatid cyst; however, this is very rare. Herein we report a case of traumatic rupture of a solitary splenic hydatid cyst in a 39-year-old male following a motor vehicle crash, managed following the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) protocol.
