“…Of the 8 cases of hydatid disease described by Das et al, the sites of FNA were liver (6 cases), lung (1 case) and mediastinum (1 case). Various reported rare sites of hydatid cyst subjected to FNA are breast, thyroid, submandibular salivary gland, sublingual region, parapharyngeal region, muscle, and superficial soft tissues of the body. In our case, the hydatid cyst was in the left supraspinatus muscle close to the shoulder and was clinically diagnosed as a lipoma.…”

Primary hydatid disease of the skeletal muscle without systemic involvement is rare. The purpose of this report is to document the novel clinical presentation and the interesting facets of fine-needle aspiration in a case of hydatid disease. It was a case of primary hydatid cyst of the left supraspinatus muscle in an Indian woman living in Kuwait, which was clinically diagnosed as a lipoma. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) yielded 2 ml of clear fluid with white particulate material. The cytocentrifuged smears prepared from the aspirated fluid showed many scolices, occasional laminated cyst wall fragments and numerous hooklets. The laminated cyst wall and scolices were PAS positive. Trichrome staining imparted a demon-head-like appearance to the scolices. The cytodiagnosis of hydatid cyst was corroborated by histopathological examination of an excised whitish membrane and an irregular cystic fragment, which showed parallel laminations without germinal layer, and skeletal muscle with granulomas and a dense eosinophilic infiltration, respectively. Quantitative serological (indirect hemagglutination) test on blood sample collected 9 days after the excision of the cyst showed insignificant antibody titer to Echinococcus sp. and after 6 weeks the antibodies were completely absent. CT scan of the chest and abdomen performed 7 weeks after removal of cyst showed no evidence of visceral hydatid cyst.

“…36,39 The organs most commonly affected are the liver and lungs. 40 Hydatid cysts are occasionally reported in the major salivary glands [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55][56] and jaw bones. 39,57-62. Intraoral hydatid cysts are rare, but when they occur, involve the tongue 65,66,69-72 and the buccal mucosa.…”

Oral infections caused by helminths (worms) are rarely encountered in clinical practice, and consequently, there is a paucity of information in the medical and dental literature about these conditions. In the present article, we review the English literature related to oral helminthic infestations. The main oral infections caused by helminths include four roundworm (trichinosis, trichuriasis, filariasis, and larva migrans) and three tapeworm infections (cysticercosis, sparganosis, and echinococcosis). Cases are mainly encountered in endemic areas and mainly present a benign clinical picture. The diagnosis of oral helminthic infections is mostly established after histopathological examination, which shows parasitic larvae lined by fibrous tissue and inflammatory cells. Surgical excision is the preferred treatment of isolated oral lesions caused by helminths; however, patients should undergo thorough medical evaluation to exclude the possible involvement of other body systems.

“…The lesions present as discrete, firm, non‐tender, nodules lying beneath intact mucosa. The differential diagnosis includes benign cystic tumours of the minor salivary glands or mesenchymal lesions 72,73 . Diagnosis is confirmed by microscopic examination of the excised cysts, but the use of FNA cytology has been reported for the oral cavity 67 .…”

Usefulness of oral cytopathology in the diagnosis of infectious diseases

et al. 2010

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In recent years, the incidence of oral opportunistic infections has increased, partly due to the widespread implementation of organ and bone marrow transplantation and the increase in the prevalence of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Cytology can be used as a rapid, inexpensive and simple routine procedure in diagnosing infectious diseases of the mouth. Moreover, ancillary methods can be applied to cytological samples, increasing the specificity and sensitivity for the diagnosis of infectious diseases. This review describes the cytopathological features of the main viral, fungal, bacterial and parasitic infections of the mouth. Cytological techniques of specimen collection, identification of infectious agents by cytomorphological approaches and ancillary methods, and diagnostic pitfalls will be discussed.

Sublingual hydatid cyst: case report and literature review

Abstract: Hydatid disease may present as a slow-growing cyst in the sublingual region. Aspiration cytology should preferably be avoided until radiological imaging studies are complete. A high index of suspicion is necessary to diagnose hydatid disease in an unusual location.
