conclusions hepatic alveolar hydatid cyst should be considered one of the important differential diagnoses of liver masses, especially in endemic areas of the world. results there were 24 published cases of liver-involved alveolar hydatid cyst from iran. the disease was more common in young- to middle-aged women in northeast iran. the most common presenting signs and symptoms were abdominal pai...

abstract alvelolar hydatid disease is caused by e. multilocularis. human infection occurs at the larval stage of this small tape worm (1.2 to 4.5 mm). in this article we studied alveolar hydatid disease in a 50 year old woman who presented with a hepatic mass. liver biopsy and histopathologic evaluation showed alvelolar hydatidosis of the liver. then resection of the left lobe of liver was done...

pulmonary alveolar proteinosis, (pap) is a rare disease of unknown etiology, characterized by accumulation of intra-alveolar proteinaceous material which is rich in lipid and positive on periodic acid-schiff stain. two clinically different pediatric types have been defined as congenital pap which is fulminant and fatal, and a late-onset pap which is similar to the adult form and less severe. ei...

most often in the posterior of the mandible of patients who need implants, the inferior alveolar nerve (ian) is too high to insert the implants, and the surgeons have to reposition ian. in conventional techniques (to make the windows in the buccal aspect of the mandible) removal of the corticocancellous bone may cause weakness of the mandible. here we present a new technique in which the bone i...

Introduction: Knowledge of the presence of the alveolar antral artery in the lateral maxillary sinus wall is essential for surgeons who operate in this region. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between alveolar antral artery diameter and lateral maxillary bony wall thickness in dentate patients.   Materials and Methods: Thirty five Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)...

cystic echinococcosis caused by echinococcus spp. is considered endemic in iran. to clarify the pre­sent status of hydatidosis in iran the present review article is presented. authentic databases and search engines from 1996 onwards were utilized to enquire the situation of the disease in iran. human hydati­dosis is responsible for approximately 1% of admission to surgical wards and the rate of...

background: alveolar echinococcosis (ae) is a chronic, rare and sometimes lethal parasitic infection in humans, caused by the larval stage of the fox tapeworm echinococcus multilocularis. this study aimed to investigate the clinical aspects and treatment outcomes of patients with alveolar hydatid disease. methods: the medical records of patients with alveolar echinococcosis admitted between 199...

hereby we report a case of well-differentiated intraosseous osteosarcoma in the sacrum. a 32-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with a low echo-level mass in the pelvis searched by ultrasound in a routine physical examination. radiographically, the mass was misdiagnosed as a benign bony tumor originating from the sacrum. the tumor was completely resected and pathological diagnosis was ...

hydatidsis is a zoonosis transmitted by domestic and wild animals. two distinct clinical presentations are as followes: unilocular of cystic hydatid disease and the more malignant form, called alveolar hydatid disease.this case report presents a patient who complained of chest pain and hemoptysis and his lung ct scan suggested solid tumor. he was found to have alveolar diseae which responded to...
