Hepatic cystic tumours are a heterogeneous group of diseases with different aetiology and incidence, and with similar clinical signs and symptoms. They are classified as congenital, traumatic, parasitic, or neoplastic cysts. The congenital cystic tumours are the most prevalent, and include the simple cyst and polycystic hepatic disease. Other less common lesions are, hepatic cystadenoma, ciliat...

  Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus (larval form) in humans with lesions most frequently encountered in the liver and lungs. It can rarely involve extra-hepatic organs. It is endemic in some regions of Iran. The omental hydatid cyst is a very rare manifestation of the disease. This report presents the interesting case of a very large omental hydatid cyst.

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection that primarily affects the liver but which can be found anywhere in the body. This case involves spontaneous dissemination of hydatid cyst disease, a rare occurrence in the absence of any intervention or trauma.

hydatid disease, caused by echinococcusgranulosus, is a common parasitic infection of the liver. disseminated intra-abdominal hydatid disease may occur with the rupture of the hydatid cyst into the peritoneal cavity, producing secondary echinococcosis. but primary hydatid cyst in the pelvis is rare. we report a case of bilateral hydatid cyst of the pelvis in a 53years old woman presented with a...

A 66 year old female presented with a symptomatic solitary non-parasitic liver cyst. This was treated by a cyst-gastrostomy following which the patient has remained well without complications for 12 years. Given an appropriate anatomical relationship of cyst and stomach, this would appear to be a safe and effective operation.

Spontaneous rupture of a non parasitic hepatic cyst is an extremely rare occurrence. A 50 -year- old male, was admitted with typical clinical manifestations of acute surgical abdomen. At exploratory laparotomy, a giant ruptured non parasitic cyst occupying the entire left liver lobe was found, along with a large amount of free intraperitoneal fluid. The cyst was widely unroofed very close to th...

Background: Splenic cysts are known as rare clinical encounter. Classifying into primary (true) and secondary cysts (pseudocysts), true cysts contain cellular epithelial lining and subdivided into parasitic and non-parasitic cysts. This study aimed to determine the outcome of treatment in patients with splenic cyst. Methods: All patients with splenic cyst who had been treated in Department o...

AbstractHydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapewormEchinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organscould be involved very rare. Here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvementof oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. It was misdiagnosed as a multicysticright ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was sho...

Hydatid disease, caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infection of human and animal. Although liver and lung are the most commonly affected area, hydatid cyst may develop any part of the body. Primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst is extremely rare. We report a case of 54 years old man who presented with palpable mass in scapular region from 3 years ago....
