Intrapulmonary teratoma masquerading as hydatid cyst of the lung.

ABSTRACT: Intrapulmonary teratoma (IPT) is a rare mediastinal teratoma. IPT arise because of abnormal migration of pluripotent stem cells along the developing lung bud. Patients present with chest pain, hemoptysis, and trichoptysis. These tumors have the potential to rupture into adjacent pleura, pericardium, or tracheobronchial tree. The differential diagnosis includes hydatid cyst, fungal ball, lung abscess, and lung parenchymal tumor. We report a case of IPT, which was initially diagnosed as hydatid cyst of the lung due to positive hydatid serology and correlating radiological features. The role of cross-reaction of hydatid antigens with sera of cancer patients needs to be evaluated. Surgical resection of the tumor is advised to avoid complications.

Isolated hydatid cyst of the pancreas masquerading as pancreatic pseudocyst.

Project description:Hydatid cyst of the pancreas is very rare and usually presents with obstructive jaundice. We report a case of a 7-year-old girl with cyst of the pancreas without any obstructive jaundice. The child was treated surgically and hydatid cyst of pancreas was found. Partial pericystectomy was performed. After 1 month on follow-up, the child developed pseudocyst of pancreas, which needed cystogastrostomy. Postoperatively, the child improved and is remaining well after 3 months of follow-up. Hydatid cysts of pancreas are very difficult to diagnose preoperatively and should be kept as a differential diagnosis of cystic intrapancreatic lesions. Serological tests can help in early diagnosis.

Infected cardiac hydatid cyst.

Project description:A 24 year old woman presented with chest pain and palpitation. The presence of a semisolid mass-an echinococcal cyst or tumour-in the left ventricular apex was diagnosed by echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. The infected cyst was seen at surgery. The cyst was removed successfully by using cardiopulmonary bypass with cross clamp.

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.

Beware! A simple renal cyst could be a hydatid cyst.

Project description:Kidney is one of the most common sites for the cyst formation in the body, and the management of simple cysts is required entirely for its symptoms and complications. Surgical decortication is an established treatment for a large and symptomatic simple renal cyst. On the other hand, hydatid cysts of the kidney are usually multiloculated complex or calcified cysts and are quite rare. Their surgical treatment also differs and requires complete excision with pericystectomy or partial/complete nephrectomy depending upon residual functional parenchyma, using extreme caution to avoid spillage, recurrence or development of severe anaphylactic shock. A simple cyst harboring a hydatid cyst is highly uncommon and quite dangerous; as if not diagnosed preoperatively, it can create huge trouble for both the patient and the operating surgeon which happened in the present case.

Unusual Hydatid Cysts: Cardiac and Pelvic-Ilio femoral Hydatid Cyst Case Reports and Literature Review.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, most commonly seen in the liver and lungs. The hydatid cyst is rarely seen in the heart and iliofemoral region, representing less than 2% of all cases. In this article, we report our cases of hydatid cysts in unusual loci. METHODS:Between 2015 and 2018, 6 rare cases of hydatid cysts were diagnosed at the Cardiovascular Surgery Department of Harran University. Four of these patients had cardiac localization and two patients had their cysts located in the iliofemoral region, extending to the pelvic zone. All patients were female. Three patients had no other organ involvement. One patient with cardiac hydatid cyst underwent normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass + total pericystectomy + Cooley-like aneurysmectomy. Total pericystectomy was performed in three other patients with intrathoracic locus by normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Two patients who were referred to our clinic with palpable iliofemoral mass were evaluated with appropriate imaging methods and diagnosed accordingly. Multiple iliofemoral cysts were managed with pericystectomy and drainage by a single incision made over the inguinal ligament. CONCLUSION:Hydatid cyst disease can develop in cardiac chambers and inguinal region with or without hepatic or pneumatic involvement. Normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass can be safely used in patients with cardiac hydatid cysts, and capitonnage similar to ventricular aneurysm repair in patients with a widely involved cystic lesion can be very useful for the protection of ventricular functions.

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.

Giant Retrorectal Epidermoid Cyst Masquerading as a Perianal Swelling.

Project description:A retrorectal epidermoid cyst is an uncommon congenital lesion that arises from the remnants of the embryonic tissues. This type of cyst is difficult to diagnose before surgery. In this study, we report a rare case of a giant retrorectal epidermoid cyst in a 30-year-old woman. Initially, the condition was diagnosed as a perianal abscess and treated with incision and drainage. Since the abscess recurred, a pelvic magnetic resonance imaging was ordered, which revealed an 8.2?cm perianal cyst with appearance not compatible with an abscess. Postsurgical histologic analysis confirmed a retrorectal epidermoid cyst. Postoperative course was uneventful, and the woman was discharged on postoperative day 3. She was doing well at 4 months of follow-up. This report suggests that retrorectal cysts should be considered in cases of recurrent perianal swellings/abscesses.
