Human cystic echinococcosis is a zoonosis caused by the larval cestode Echinococcus granulosus. Hepatocellular carcinoma is one of the most common types of cancer in the whole world including China. A few reports about cystic echinococcosis concurrent with hepatocellular carcinoma were noted until now. In addition, the association between these two diseases is still not well defined as the case...

discussion hydatid cyst in pericardium represents only 0.5-2% of cases of systemic echinoccocal infection. isolated pericardial cyst is very rare in endemic region and may present mimicking acute coronary syndrome. cardiac hydatid cysts should always be considered in presence of eosinophilia as present like acute coronary syndrome in endemic area. introduction hydatid cysts are most commonly fo...

Alveolar echinococcosis is a chronic and serious, even lethal, parasitic infection caused by the helminth Echinococcus multilocularis. The involvement of Central Nervous System is reported to be 1-3% in literature. Brain involvement is considered a sign of the terminal phase of alveolar echinococcosis. We here in reported a 67-year-old female who had liver alveolar hydatid disease with brain an...

Echinococcosis is rarely encountered as a cystic brain disease. In this article we are presenting a case of a young woman repeatedly operated due to echinococcosis of lung, heart and brain. Recurrent brain ecchinococcosis developed despite preoperative and postoperative albendazol therapy after first and combined therapy with albendazol and praziquantel after the second brain surgery. The mecha...

Echinococcus is a parasiticsource of infection that occurs in humans in endemic regions of the world. It causes medical, veterinary and economic problems for endemic developing countries.Primary echinococcosis of the heart represents 0,5-2% of all hydatid disease. This is a retrospective review of recent literature that consists information about 35 case report studies from different regions an...

echinococcosis, although eradicated in many countries, is still widespread in communities where agriculture is dominant. cystic hydatidosis is a significant public health problem in the regions with endemic echinococcosis. the hydatid cysts tend to form in the liver or lung, but may also be found in other organs of the body such as brain, heart, and bone, while thyroid gland involvement is rath...

Cardiac echinococcosis is extremely rare. Its incidence, even in countries where it is endemic, is less than 2 per cent of the total incidence of echinococcosis. Since the first case described by Deve (I9OI) less than ioo have been reported. The diagnosis can easily be suspected and surgical treatment is simple and lifesaving if it is done before complications set in. We present 6 cases of hyda...

Cardiac echinococcosis is a rare but mortal disease. The primary goal of this study was to quantitatively examine, using bibliometrics tools, the publications and assess hot issues new directions in cardiac research from 1970 December 2021. We only included "journal articles" "reviews" study. ‘cardiac echinococcosis’ or hydatid disease’ ‘echinococcal heart keywords were used for search. search ...
