We report and discuss a case of primary hydatidosis of the pelvic cavity in a woman who presented with severe weight loss and abdominal pain. This unusual presentation was initially considered as a tumor process until surgical exploration and microscopic studies confirmed the diagnosis. The gynecologists should be aware of possibility of primary hydatid cyst of the pelvic cavity and should be c...

Hydatidosis is an endemicdisease in Morocco. Localization the pancreas very rare especially when isolated. We report case of a patient admitted emergency room for suppurated pancreatic collection, about 15 cm diameter, resembling fistulized Pseudo-pancreatic cyst, or cystic tumoror hydatid cyst. In spite initial empirical antibiotic therapy, unfavorable evolution led us to perform exploratory l...

Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis are the causes of hydatid disease and the main characteristic is endemic. Generally, it affects the liver and lungs. Spinal hydatidosis accounts for less than 1% of the cases. Vertebral hydatidosis is usually silent and a slowly progressive disease with a long latent period. Another rare form is the primary sacral hydatid cyst. Generally, ...

Cystic tumours of the spleen are generally rare, and a parasitic origin is relatively unlikely. The present case report shows, however that when a splenic cyst is found, the differential diagnosis must always consider the possibility of echinococcosis. We report the case of a patient suffering from a cystic lesion of the spleen where surgery and histopathology yielded the diagnosis of splenic e...

Background: Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease linked to the development of Echinococcus Granulosus larval form in humans. This anthropozoonosis characterized by many topographical and evolutionary aspects. Musculoskeletal hydatidosis rare, it represents only 0.9 2.5% all locations. Objective: aim this manuscript report rare case bone muscle location hydatid cyst show imaging cont...

Cystic hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It may affect any organ and tissue in the body, in particular the liver and Lung. Musculoskeletal or soft tissue hydatidosis accounts for about 0,5%-5% of all echinococcal infections in endemic areas and is almost secondary to the hepatic or pulmonary disease (Karaman et al., 2011; Dirican et al., 2008; Kouskos et al., 2007...

BACKGROUND The hydatid disease, or echinococcosis, is endemic in Mediterranean countries, as well as in Australia, Asia, Africa, South America, and Canada. Among its complications is intraperitoneal rupture, a rare form of presentation, with highly variable symptoms. The treatment of choice is surgery plus adjuvant medical treatment in most patients. OBJECTIVE A case is presented of a patient...

Complicated pulmonary unilocular cystic hydatidosis (CPUCH) is a serious condition, which requires immediate treatment. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) in the final diagnosis of CPUCH. Of 1,726 cases, who underwent FOB evaluation between 1990 and 1994 in our centre, 24 patients (17 females and 7 males), who had proven CPUCH after thorac...

BACKGROUND Musculoskeletal hydatidosis is very rare and represents 1%-5.4% of all cases of echinococcosis. On clinical basis, infection mimics a soft-tissue tumor, and the preoperative radiological diagnosis is very important to avoid biopsy. CASE PRESENTATION We report an unusual case of primary subcutaneous hydatidosis in proximity to vastus lateralis muscle. It was diagnosed according to t...
