Supraclavicular Hydatid Cyst: An Unusual Cause of Neck Swelling
Hydatid disease, also known as echinococcosis or hydatidosis, is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval forms (metacestode) of Echinococcus granulosus. Hydatid disease is an important public health problem and is endemic in sheep and cattle raising areas worldwide. Musculoskeletal or soft tissue hydatidosis accounts for about 0.5%-5%. Even in regions where echinococcosis is endemic, hydatido...
متن کاملCardiac Hydatid Cyst: An Unusual Cause of Chest Pain
Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. Cardiac involvement in hydatid disease is uncommon, constituting only 0.5 - 2% of all cases of hydatidosis. Most patients with cardiac echinococcosis are asymptomatic, and the disease is often latent because a hydatid cyst in the heart grows very slowly. Only approximately 10 % of patients, especially those wi...
متن کاملPrimary pelvic hydatid cyst presenting with obstructive uropathy and renal failure.
Primary pelvic hydatid cyst is a rare entity. Pelvic hydatid cysts usually present with pressure symptoms involving adjacent organs (bladder and rectum usually). A case of primary pelvic hydatid cyst presenting with obstructive uropathy leading to chronic renal failure is presented. A combination of preoperative albendazole therapy of 1.2 g/day for 8-12 weeks and surgical excision were effectiv...
متن کاملAccidental discovery of a hydatid cyst with primary presentation in an unusual location: a case report
A hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval forms of mostly the Echinococcus granulosus. In humans, the most common site of cyst development is the liver (60%), followed by the lungs (20%), and much less commonly in other organs such as kidney, spleen, brain, and other soft tissues. The localization of cysts in muscles and subcutaneous is very rare. We report a case of 38-year-o...
متن کاملAn unusual presentation of primary splenic hydatid cyst
The larval form of the parasite Echinococcus granulosus causes a hydatid cyst. The most common sites are liver and lungs. We present an unusual case of an isolated primary hydatid cyst of the spleen. In our case, ultrasonography images of the spleen were not suggestive of hydatid disease except a large cystic lesion. We proceeded to conservative splenectomy that detected hydatid cyst incidental...
