Liver abscess is mostly either pyogenic or amebic. Fungal and mycobacterial liver abscesses are rare and mostly associated with immunosuppression. The occurrence of fungal liver abscess with hydatid cyst was never reported previously. This case created diagnostic difficulty, whether we are dealing with liver abscess or hydatid cyst. Sometimes, it may be possible that concurrent occurrence of hy...

Hydatid disease, caused by larval stage of parasite echinococcus, is considerable health problem world wide. Hydatid cyst of infratemporal region is extremely rare, even in endemic areas. A 35 year old woman presented with slowly progressive swelling in infratemporal region. At operation the cystic mass was demonstrated and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. A ...

Hydatid cyst disease is endemic in our country. This disease is most commonly detected in the liver and lung, but it can be detected rarely in the soft tissue, muscles and subdermally. In this study, we mentioned a case with subcutaneous hydatid cyst disease without any primary lesion. In this case, a left lumbar subdermal cyst was totally excised and the germinative membrane of the cyst was de...

Echinococcus granulosus infrequently induces spinal hydatid cysts, and intradural hydatid cysts are extremely rare among these spinal hydatid cysts. We report a 30-year-old man with a history of progressive back pain caused by a previous back injury. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a spinal intradural cystic lesion. After surgical removal, histopathological diagnosis was a hydatid cyst. The...

Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, 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 53 years old woman presented with...

c Abstract: Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a common parasitic infection of the liver. Primary pelvic hydatid cyst is an extremely rare condition and occurs in approximately 0.7% of patients. Hydatid disease in pregnancy is a very rare condition with incidence of 1/20000 pregnancies. We report here an unusual case of hydatid cyst of the pelvis in a 30 years old multigravi...

Echinococcal disease can develop anywhere in the human body. The liver represents its most frequent location. Hepatic hydatid cysts may rupture into the biliary tract, thorax, peritoneum, viscera, digestive tract or skin. We report a rare case with rupture of the right hepatic duct into a hydatid cyst in a woman with known hydatid disease and choledocholithiasis. The increased intra-luminal pre...

BACKGROUND Rupture into the biliary ducts is the most frequent complication of hydatid liver disease. In endemic areas of Echinococcus granulosus, development of jaundice in a patient with liver cyst is initially suspected to have hydatid cyst. CASE PRESENTATION A 48 year-old woman with history of asymptomatic hydatid liver cysts was admitted to the emergency department with right upper quadr...

We report a case of renal hydatid cyst in a 25-year-old male who presented with hydatiduria. Intravenous pyelography revealed presence of a space-occupying lesion in the lower pole of right kidney with curvilinear calcifications. Ultrasound, computed tomography and MRI were suggestive of hydatid cyst in the right kidney. Patient underwent right-sided nephrectomy. Passage of hydatid cysts in uri...
