Intramuscular hydatid cyst in the lower extremity: report of three cases

Miyozitler kasların özellikle istemli kasların inflamasyınu olup tuttuğu bölgede lokalize ve yaygın ağrıya, o bölgede şişlik ve güçsüzlükle karakterizdedir. Klinik seyir tutulan kas sayısı ve konakçı türüne göre değişmektedir. Tanıda klinik tablo ve radyolojik görüntüleme önemlidir. Kesin tanı parazitolojik, serolojik ve moleküler yöntemlerle ve doku biyopsilerinin histopatolojik incelemesi ile doğrulanır. Tedavi etken türüne göre değişkenlik göstermektedir. Bu derleme çalışmasında mevcut literatürün miyozite neden olan paraziter etkenler açısından gözden geçirilmesi amaçlandı.

Background: Hydatid disease, a zoonotic infection common in pastoral areas, can affect any human organ. Muscular involvement, especially in the psoas muscle, is rare, comprising only 1-3% of cases, even in endemic regions. The presence of multiple cysts is even rarer. Clinical presentation varies, making them challenging to diagnostic. Surgical intervention is the primary treatment for psoas hydatid cysts. Case presentation: A 40-year-old female from a rural area presented with fatigue and abdominal pain, without constipation or changes in appetite. Physical examination revealed tenderness in the right hypochondrium. Her medical history included tonsillectomy twenty years ago, cesarean delivery two years ago, and pulmonary hydatid cystectomy seven years ago. Ultrasound detected a retroperitoneal hydatid cyst, while a multi-slice CT scan showed a hydatid cyst within the left psoas major muscle and an additional cyst in the anterior and lateral portions of the left psoas major muscle. Surgeries successfully removed two cysts from the left psoas major muscle, and the patient was discharged in good condition two days post-surgery. Conclusions: This case highlights the rarity of psoas major muscle hydatid cysts in a middle-aged woman from a rural area. Early recognition, accurate radiological assessment, and proper surgical treatment are crucial for positive outcomes and averting complications like infection, compression of nearby structures, or anaphylactic reactions.
