“…Isolated subcutaneous involvement of hydatid over the thigh, palms, and calf with no other organ involvement has also been reported [10,11]. Salamone et al reported that 45% of soft tissue hydatid cysts were located in the lower limb [12]. Also, reports of hydatid cyst in the foot, which affected the cuneiforms, and the navicular and talus bones have been published [13,14].…”

Background: Hydatid cyst is rarely located in soft tissues. This case of a hydatid cyst over the plantar surface of our patient's foot is one of the rarest presentations. Case presentation: This is a case report of a 22-year-old Somali who presented with a lump over the plantar surface of his foot of 1-year duration. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst was made intraoperatively from the typical appearance of a hydatid cyst. The cyst was completely excised. No local recurrence has been detected to date. Conclusions: The rare location and uncommon incidence made the initial diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the foot difficult. Detection of the typical germinal membrane can guide the diagnosis of hydatid cyst in rare locations that are found incidentally.

“…Respecto al tratamiento en las presentaciones subcutáneas únicas o múltiples, concluimos que la alternativa de elección es la escisión quirúrgica más el tratamiento farmacológico con albendazol 15 mg/kg/d por periodos de uno a seis meses. Otros tratamientos adyuvantes son raramente reportados (12)(13)(14)(15) . La respuesta al tratamiento antiparasitario en los casos de diseminación subcutánea es muy baja, lo que hace necesario el diagnóstico precoz.…”

La hidatidosis es una infección zoonótica que puede invadir múltiples órganos en el ser humano. Sin embargo, el tejido subcutáneo es el órgano menos afectado por esta enfermedad, cuando esto ocurre se aprecia escasa sintomatología, lo que ocasiona periodos prolongados de enfermedad asociado a diagnóstico tardío y a una pobre respuesta a la terapia antiparasitaria. La sierra central del Perú es la zona con mayor prevalencia, presumiblemente por las inadecuadas medidas de saneamiento ambiental, la falta de educación y las casi inexistentes medidas de control de la enfermedad. Con el objetivo de discutir los problemas relacionados a la localización subcutánea y su probable fisiopatología, reportamos dos casos de hidatidosis subcutánea que se presentaron con lesiones tumorales de evolución prolongada y que no afectaron al hígado ni a los pulmones y que finalmente fueron tratados mediante extirpación quirúrgica debido a la falta de respuesta al tratamiento con albendazol.

“…Most commonly affected organs are liver and lungs. Cardiac hydatid disease is rare, accounting for 0.02%–2% of all hydatid infestations in humans [1,2]. Left ventricle (60%) is the most common location for hydatid cysts in heart, followed by the right ventricle (15%), the interventricular septum (9%), the left atrium (8%), the right atrium (4%), and interatrial septum (2%) respectively [3].…”
