“…The intraosseous form may be further classified into a solitary costal form and a costovertebral form. In our patient, it's a costovertebral form because of the extension of the disease into the adjacent vertebra and epidural space [2] .…”

Osseous echinococcosis is a relatively rare entity and that of the rib is even rare. Few cases of costal echinococcosis have been reported in the literature so far. We report a case of a recurrent costovertebral hydatidosis with epidural extension in a 49-year-old man who presented with paraparesis and back pain. MRI of the dorsal spine was performed. The imaging features were suggestive of echinococcosis involving the rib and vertebrae with epidural extension. This diagnosis was confirmed histopathologically after surgical treatment. The evolution was marked by the reappearance of the same symptoms due to recurrence. The prognosis of costovertebral hydatidosis is gloomy despite radical surgical treatment due to the frequency of recurrences. This case highlights the role of MRI for the diagnosis and follow-up of patients after treatment.

“…From Africa, one case involving an appendicular bone was reported from Ethiopia (1%), three reported cases affected the chest wall (3%), and one case involved the pelvis (1%) 4, 3, 8. Twenty cases involving the pelvis, chest wall and appendicular bones were reported across Europe (25%) 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 17, 27. Eight cases affected the pelvic bones and/or femur (10%) (Figure 5, Figure 6), while 11 cases involved the appendicular skeleton, with eight of these cases reportedly occurring within the skeletal muscles.…”

Objectives Hydatid bone disease is a zoonotic disease caused mainly by Echinococcus granulosus . Middle Eastern, African, and Mediterranean populations are endemically affected. Hydatid disease of the bone is a rare clinical condition that affects people with a history of animal contact. This research aims to revisit clinical presentations of hydatid cystic disease in the skeletal system. Methods Data of all clinical cases with hydatid cystic disease of the skeletal system, presenting between 2011 and 2016 were collected. Clinical manifestations and radiographic and histopathological reports were reviewed, and the patients were followed for a period of 12–22 months. Results Two patients had hydatid disease in the spine, one in the pelvis, one in the sternum, and one in the femur. The symptoms were suggestive of pathological fractures and bony deformities. Spinal hydatid disease presented with nerve root compression and paraparesis in one case, and radicular pain in the other case. Sternal involvement of hydatid disease presented with pain and deformity, while femoral involvement presented with deformity and fracture. Surgical resection with a pre- and post-surgical anthelminthic course and application of the puncture, aspiration, injection, and aspiration (PAIR) technique were completed in four cases. One case showed residual disease during follow-up visits. Conclusions Hydatid cystic disease of the skeletal system is a rare presentation of a common disease. A multidisciplinary approach is optimal for the management of these cases. Long-term follow-up is mandatory to prevent complications and recurrence, and to monitor residual disabilities.

Primary tumors of the ribs are rare. However, they are often seen due to the high number of bones of the ribs and also the frequency of chest films taken for various conditions. They may be benign or malignant. Tumor like lesions are more in number than primary tumors of the ribs. Chest film is the first one to detect the tumor. Benign tumors include tumors arising from the osseous tissue, cartilaginous tissue, fibrous tissue, vascular tissue and other miscellaneous tumors arising from the other part of tissues. Similarly, primary malignant lesions arise from the tissues as mentioned earlier. Radiologically, there are several signs to identify and diagnose these tumors. Some of the lesions need advanced imaging such as CT, ultrasound, MRI, nuclide scan and PET CT.
