Unusual Presentation of Iliac Bone Hydatid Cyst
Authors
Abstract:
A 21-year-old woman presented with a painless growing mass in her right flank since 5 months before. With the probable diagnosis of a cold abscess, the patient was operated, but the wound was not cured. The patient was re-examined and a biopsy from the lesion was taken which revealed hydatid cyst. After nearly complete excision of the infected area and adjuvant chemotherapy with albendazole for 6 weeks, no recurrence was seen until 14 months after the operation.

full textForearm hydatid cyst: an unusual presentation.
Primary musculoskeletal hydatidosis is very rare and represents 1%–5% of all cases of echinococcosis [1]. Patients are typically asymptomatic and the cyst presents as a slow growing soft tissue tumour [2]. The diagnosis is usually easy in imaging by ultrasonography (US), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Sometimes, unusual imaging appearance because of complicated c...
full textRuptured Hydatid Cyst with an Unusual Presentation
Ruptured pulmonary hydatid cyst may sometimes cause complications like empyema, bronchopleural fistula, and collapsed lung. These complications may mislead the diagnosis and treatment if prior evidence of cyst has not been documented before rupture. We present a case of a young male who presented with complete collapse of left lung with pyopneumothorax and bronchopleural fistula which was misdi...
full textMesenteric Hydatid Cyst: an Unusual Presentation
Hydatidosis is a common zoonosis that affects a large number of humans and animals, especially in poorly developed countries. Mesenteric hydatid cysts are rare intra abdominal lesions with variable clinical symptoms and signs that make preoperative diagnosis diffi cult. The treatment is surgical excision followed by mebendazole for four months. We report this unusual case where preoperative dia...
full textUnusual presentation of hydatid cyst – ruptured intraventricular hydatid
Echinococcosis in humans occurs as a result of infection by the larval stages of taenid cestodes of the genus Echinococcus. Most of the intracranial hydatids develop in brain parenchyma. Hydatid cyst within the cerebral ventricle is quite unusual. Literature review showed few case reports of childhood as well as adult intraventricular hydatid cysts. None of these cases presented for the first t...
full textUnusual presentation of hydatid cyst: diagnosis with bronchoscopy.
Hydatid disease is one of the major health problems in countries where hydatidosis is endemic. Atypical radiological findings may lead to misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis in these patients. A 13-year-old boy was presented who admitted to the hospital with a history of cough and hemoptysis for six months. He had a non-resolving pneumonia. Bronchoscopy showed endobronchial lesion and the diagno...
