Gluteal muscles primary hydatid cyst after cortical bone destruction in the sacrum

ABSTRACT: Introduction Hydatid disease is caused by infection of Echinococcus Granulosus. Usually Hydatid Cysts occur in the liver and lungs. Presenting hydatid cysts in bone without hepatic affectation is rare and occurs in 0.5–2% of cases. Hence, this rare case makes the diagnosis difficult for the clinicians and, as a result, misdiagnosis of sacral Echinococcosis is common. Presentation of case The authors report on a 47-year male with primary sacral hydatidosis and 34 years of recurrence. He was admitted with compressive neurological symptoms like tingling pain, numbness, sciatica and foot drop. He has undergone 8 operations and has been treated with Albendazole. He has developed a Sacro-cutaneous fistula. Discussion When assessing sciatica, low back pain or lower limb weakness the pelvic cavity should be examined for hidden disease that might explain the neurological symptoms. Conclusion A missed diagnosis of osseous Hydatidosis could be devastating. Accordingly, the sacral Hydatid cyst must be included as a differential diagnosis for compressive neurological symptoms. In clinical practice, surgery remains the gold standard for treating osseous Hydatidosis. Highlights • The symptoms of osseous echinococcosis are non-specific and widely variable.• Sacral hydatid cyst it should be included in the differential diagnosis of any bone mass caused compressive neurological symptoms.• Treatment of hydatid cyst is primarily surgical, demanding total removal without rupture.• Posterior approach is preferred over anterior due to feasibility of the intervention and decrease of the recurrence rate.

Primary isolated extraluminal hydatid cyst of left pulmonary artery.

Project description:Introduction and importanceHydatid cyst of the pulmonary artery is scarce. There were few reports of intramural involvement of pulmonary artery secondary to cardiac or lung hydatic cyst in the literature. To our knowledge, there was no report of a primary isolated extraluminal hydatid cyst of the left pulmonary artery.Case presentationA twenty-eight-year-old female presented to the hospital with a complaint of progressive dyspnea. The patients had no common COVID-19 infection symptoms.Clinical discussionThe RT-PCR for COVID-19 RNA was negative. A spiral chest CT scan demonstrated a cystic mass sized 83 × 34 in the middle mediastinum. Intraoperatively, the intrapericardial mass arises from the left pulmonary artery and extends to the hilum of the left atrium. The mass was resected, and the pathology report noted a hydatid cyst. The postoperative course was uneventful, and the patient was discharged with the administration of albendazole for three months.ConclusionAlthough hydatid cyst primary isolated extraluminal hydatid cyst of the pulmonary artery is extremely rare, in cases with pulmonary artery stenos or hypertension manifestation, a probable differential diagnosis should be considered.

Primary splenic hydatid cyst an unexpected diagnosis: Case report.

Project description:IntroductionHydatid disease is endemic in farming areas but occurs worldwide. The most common site of disease is liver. Hydatid disease of the spleen is a rare condition. Worldwide incidence of splenic hydatid is 0.5-4%. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment. The standard treatment is open total or partial splenectomy.Presentation of caseA 28 year-old female patient was referred to our institution, after coincidental sonography finding. On abdominal examination, there was no sensitization, and there was no resistance or rebound.Ultrasound showed an enlarge spleen; an abdominal CT confirmed the presence of a splenic cyst at the lower pole of the spleen of 7 cm in diameter, no other organ involvement. The biological confirmation was made by indirect hemagglutination. Spleen-sparing surgery was performed. Macroscopic and microscopic examination of the specimen confirmed Hydatid cyst. The patient was discharged from hospital on the seventh postoperative day with a prescription for albendazole (2 × 400 mg/day) for three months.Discussion and conclusionThe rarity of primary splenic hydatid disease poses a diagnostic challenge for clinicians, the disease should be considered in differential in every patient in endemic areas with cystic lesion of spleen until proved otherwise, it may be detected incidentally or present with non-specific complaints, preservation surgery should always be tried to avoid post splenectomy infection, especially in young patients.

Primary Giant Cerebral Hydatid Cyst in an 8-year-old Girl.

Project description:Echinococcosis, also called hydatid disease, is a parasitic disease that passes from animals to humans. Literature reports suggest very rare cases of cerebral hydatid cysts. Brain involvement with hydatid disease occurs in 1%-2% of all Echinococcus infections. In this report, we aim to emphasize the presentation of such an isolated primary cerebral hydatid cyst, discuss its radiological features, Emergency department management, inpatient medical management, referral to neurosurgery, consequent operative procedures, postoperative care, and outcome.

Lone, Mobile Left Atrial Hydatid Cyst.

Project description:Echinococcosis is endemic in various regions of Turkey. Cardiac involvement in echinococcosis is rare, and lone cardiac hydatid cysts are even more unusual. Because cardiac hydatid disease can be fatal, even asymptomatic patients are optimally referred for surgical treatment. We present a rare case of a lone, primary, mobile hydatid cyst in the left atrium of a 62-year-old woman. The cyst caused dyspnea from left ventricular inflow obstruction. In addition to reporting the patient's fatal case, we discuss cardiac hydatid cysts in terms of the scant medical literature.

A rare case of cardiac hydatid cyst.

Project description:Hydatid infection of the heart is rare and there is always the lethal hazard of cyst perforation. We present an 18-year-old male from Kashmir valley who was admitted to the emergency department of our hospital with fever and chest pain for the last 4 days. Using echocardiography and cardiac tomography (CT), cardiac Echinococcosis was diagnosed. The results of surgical treatment of cardiac Echinococcosis were better than the conservative strategy. Surgical excision was performed. The patient had an uneventful recovery.

Clinical and Molecular Evaluation of a Case of Giant Primary Splenic Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report.

Project description:Spleen is an unusual location for hydatid cyst. Here we report a case of primary splenic hydatid cyst in a 41-yr-old Iranian woman from Yasuj, southwest of Iran. The patient had been admitted to Shahid Beheshti Hospital because of abdominal pain. Abdominal sonography revealed a hypoechoic lesion of 150 X 130 mm in the spleen, suggestive of hydatid cyst. Splenectomy was performed for the patient and surgical interventions revealed a hydatid cyst occupying most of splenic parenchyma. She was discharged on the 5 day of her operation. Postoperative diagnosis and confirmation of hydatid cyst was done by histopathological, molecular and serological approaches. Histopathological evaluation revealed the classical laminated layer of hydatid cyst. DNA was extracted from a part of cyst and PCR amplified. Sequencing and analysis of PCR product revealed that the isolate has the most similarity with G1 strain of Echinococcus granulosus. Patient's serum was positive for IgG anti-hydatid cyst antibodies, using antigen-B ELISA.

Primary infected hydatid cyst of the thigh in a young lady; case report with literature review.

Project description:Hydatid disease present in certain parts of the world. Infection of the musculoskeletal system occur in less than 0.5%. A 24-year-old lady had a painful mass in the inner aspect of the right thigh. MRI of the thigh showed a mixed signal intensity lesion measured about 65*100 mm, the mass was related to the muscle and the superficial femoral artery and its cavity had multiple septations. During surgery an infected hydatid cyst of the muscle was found, evacuation was done with removal of the cyst. The patient was discharged next day and she received anthelminthic medications for 3 months. Hydatid cyst of the muscles present with gradually enlarging mass or complications such as nerve compression, infection or rupture. Treatment may be medical using anthelminthic medications. Complete surgical excision is the best surgical option; involvement of other organs should be excluded. Follow-up is recommended.
