“…2 The site of involvement was the same for large (>10 cm) and small cysts. 10 After the inferior lobe, the mostly commonly involved sites were the superior and middle lobes, respectively, similar to that found in a 45-year review from China. 7 In our study, the most common site was the inferior lobe.…”

“…There is no consensus to support the association of number and diameter of cysts with perforation of any of them. Kocer et al reported no significant relationship between increasing the diameter of the cyst reduces the risk of perforation [15]. Burgos et al claimed that increasing the diameter of the cyst reduces the risk of perforation [16].…”

Background: Hydatid cyst is a public health problem, particularly where it is endemic. It is a benign disease and usually asymptomatic unless the symptoms and complications develop. Effective treatment is important because this benign disease can cause considerable mortality and morbidity. The aim of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of HC, localization (bilateral lungs or multiple organ involvement) and perforation characteristics of HC. Materials and Methods: 160 patients were operated on for pulmonary hydatid disease for about approximately 12 years of time period. Patients were evaluated according to their age, gender, distribution of cysts in the lung, extra-pulmonary organ involvements, presence or absence of perforations, and animal contact stories. Results: Number of the cysts, the cyst diameter, gender, location of the cysts and the liver involvement were found unrelated with the perforation status of the cyst. But, there is a significant difference between the localization of the cysts in the lung and the involvement of the liver. The rates of presence of liver cysts in the case of unilateral right, unilateral left and bilateral cysts in the lung were found as 13%, 25% and 50% respectively. Conclusions: Hydatid cyst is a public health problem and elimination is possible with rigorous work. In case of bilateral pulmonary cysts and the multiple number of cysts, the likelihood of a cyst in the liver is increased. It was concluded that there was no relationship between the presence of cysts in the liver and the absence of perforation in the lung cysts. However, it should be kept in mind in terms of the possible complications that may occur at high perforations in patients who received preoperative albendazole therapy.

“…Belirtiler komşu organlara bası ile veya komplikasyonların gelişmesi ile ortaya çıkar. Pediyatrik yaş grubunda hidatik kistler immün cevabın tam gelişmemiş olması, akciğer parankiminin elastikiyetinin ve solunum kapasitesinin erişkinlere göre daha fazla olması nedeniyle bulgu vermeksizin dev boyutlara ulaşabilirler (≥10cm) ve daha sonra semptomatik hale gelebilirler (7). Bu tip kistler daha çok bronşiyal ve/veya plevral irritasyona bağlı olarak göğüs ağrısı ve öksürüğe ve parankime yaptığı basıya bağlı olarak dispneye neden olurlar (8).…”
