A case report: Primary hydatid cyst of uterus

Abstract

HighlightsHydatid cyst in uterus is very rare.Especially in endemic area for this parasite, one of differential diagnoses of pelvic cyst must be echinococcosis.We here report a case of primary uterus hydatid cyst.

A Rare Case of Secondary Hydatid Cyst: Uterus and Colon Locations in the Same Patient

“…Although, Tas et al (13), suspected an ovarian neoplasm in a 44-year-old menopausal patient with complaints of abdominal distention, they encountered primary ovary and omental CE during surgery. A case from Iran, primary uterus hydatid cyst removed from uterine on left ovary and fallopian tub of 46 years old women (14). In a six-year retrospective study of 18 patients treated surgically, localizations of CE were found in two tuba, one colon, omentum and uterus (15).…”

Common Opportunistic Pulmonary Parasites in Hiv Patients and Their Impact on Organ Transplantation

“…Human lungs were the second most common organ of involvement in adults, after the liver (Wilson, 1991). Hydatidosis of organs outside of liver or lung were unusual as CNS (Mazyad et al, 1999), heart, kidney, bone and ocular (Gogus et al, 2003), brain (Farahmand et al, 2010), ovary causing ovarian neoplasm (Sharma et al, 2012), pancreas (Akbulut et al, 2014), pelvic (Bhatnagar et al, 2017), breast (Temiz et al, 2017, uterus (Kakaei et al, 2017), foot (Ewnte, 2020), or even anal fossa (Abdalla et al, 2020). However, lungs were the most common site of involvement in children (Polat et al, 2003).…”

A case of hydatid cyst in biceps femoris

“…Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection mostly caused by larvae of the Echinococcus granulosus [1,2]. It is common in sheep-raising countries [3] including the Middle East.…”

“…It is common in sheep-raising countries [3] including the Middle East. The disease is endemic in Iran, with most cases reported from north western region [1,2].…”

“…Due to the benign and asymptomatic progression of the hydatid cyst, it usually presents in its advanced form [4]. Although the liver and lungs are the most involved organs, but different organs could be involved by the hydatid cyst [1,2]. Musculoskeletal involvement is very rare and involvement of the biceps femoris is much rarer [[3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]].…”
