Hydatid cyst is a very significant health problem in India. As recorded in the literature, majority of hydatid cysts are found in the liver followed by the lungs with an incidence rate of 60-70% and 10-15% respectively. Cystic hydatid disease in bones is seen in less than 4% of cases, with majority presenting in the spine. In this case report we have discussed primary intraspinal extradural hydatid cyst with paravertebral extension (dumbbell shaped) in lumbar vertebra which is a rarity. The diagnosis was established intraoperatively based on the findings with a follow up and review of literatures, along with its management.

“…5 The majority (80%) of patients with hydrated disease are from rural backgrounds and have close contact with domestic animals. 6 However, significant exposure to infected animals may not be present, and a high index of clinical and radiological suspicion combined with laboratory investigations are key for its early diagnosis.…”

Introduction: Hydatid disease in humans is caused by zoonotic parasites, after accidental ingestion of food contaminated by ova of Echinococcus granulosus. Giant hydatid cyst of the lung is most commonly seen in children, but it is rare in human adults. The lung is the second most common organ affected by hydatid diseases after the liver in humans. History and radiological findings are usually helpful in diagnosing hydatid cysts, but serology can add to the diagnosis. A small pulmonary cyst may be asymptomatic; however, giant or ruptured cysts may develop fatal complications. The surgical intervention followed by pharmacological therapy is the treatment of choice for giant hydatid cysts of the lungs. Case description: Here, we present a case of giant right-side hydatid cysts, presented with complaints of dyspnea, fever, and hemoptysis. The patient was successfully managed by right thoracotomy with an uneventful postoperative course. Conclusion: Giant hydatid lung cysts can present with any respiratory symptoms with fatal outcomes. Surgery followed by pharmacotherapy is the treatment of choice for giant pulmonary hydatid cysts.

“…The liver is the most common site of involvement, followed by the lungs [ 2 ]. It is usually asymptomatic and is detected incidentally in most cases [ 2 ]. It is important, however, to diagnose this early as the enlarging cyst is associated with a variety of complications including obstruction of the flow of blood/lymphatics and cyst rupture [ 3 , 4 ].…”

Hydatid Cyst in Liver Masquerading As Metastatic Deposits From Ovarian Carcinoma

Metastatic deposits from primary ovarian malignancy can manifest as cystic masses in the liver. In endemic areas, hydatid disease is an important differential in all cases of cystic hepatic masses. We report a case of a 55-year-old lady who presented with progressive abdominal distension and was diagnosed with primary ovarian high-grade serous carcinoma. Imaging revealed concurrent lesions in the liver that were thought to be metastatic deposits but was later diagnosed as hydatid cyst based on radiologic features and serology. We report this rare case to highlight the importance of suspecting a hydatid cyst in endemic areas and its varied manifestations.
