“…Although a watch-and-wait approach is recommended for inactive and uncomplicated cysts, albendazole is most commonly used for 3 to 6 months in children, with percutaneous aspiration used as a minimally invasive procedure where possible, and surgery for larger or more complicated cysts [28]. Mandal and colleagues from R G Kar Medical College, Kolkata, India, present a case series of 18 children with hydatid cysts at multiple organ sites over a 5-year period [29]. Clinical features, diagnosis, and nuances of treatment are discussed in this informative series.…”

Hydatid cyst (CH) is a zoonotic disease caused by a parasite of the cestode class called Echinococcus [1].There are 4 main genera of Echinococcus: E. granulosus, E. multilocularis, E. vogeli, and E. Oligarthus. Echinococcus granulosus causes cystic echinococcosis (CE), and this clinical form is the most common clinical form both in our country and in the world [2]. It can be involved in many organs and systems. In this study, we aimed to present atypical localized hydatid cysts such as intracerebral, ovary, thigh and uterus. All cases were confirmed by histopathological diagnosis. In conclusion, since our country is an endemic region in terms of hydatid cyst disease, it should be noted that such atypical localizations can be found in many different anatomical regions other than the liver and lung. In the treatment of the disease, appropriate surgical and medical treatment and regular follow-up are important to detect local recurrence and complications of the disease.

Lung hydatidosis is a zoonotic infection, primarily caused by Echinococcus sp., and has a significant role in the economy and public health. Canines are the predominant hosts of these parasitic tapeworms. Lungs are the most commonly infected organ after the liver. Hepatic pulmonary blood circulation is mainly reported to transport infection to the lungs. The prevalence of hydatid disease has increased over the past decade. In addition, patients with multi-organ involvement of hydatid cysts have been reported in different parts of the world. Hydatidosis can remain asymptomatic for years after infection in some conditions, especially in cases of splenic hydatidosis. Chest radiography and computed tomography findings can be used to confirm the diagnosis of hydatid disease. Hydatid disease is, in general, managed by pharmacological therapy, but if multi-organ involvement is observed, surgery along with medical management is required. Long-term follow-up is recommended in such cases to check the recurrence of the disease.
