“…Also, there is no definite guideline about the duration of pharmacological treatment,[ 4 ] and even in some researches, it is recommended that albendazole treatment be given to the patient for at least 2 years. [ 20 ] In addition, this anthelmintic should be prescribed in some spatial patients as the alternative treatment to those who refused a surgical removal or to cases with inoperable cardiac hydatid cysts, although guidelines do not exist to date. So we decided to continue medical therapy and follow up the patient at our clinic regularly.…”

Hydatid cyst is a common disease between humans and animals. Foods that are contaminated with eggs of echinococcal species are the cause of hydatid disease. Although this parasite affects different organs, the liver and lungs are very susceptible but the cardiac hydatid disease is very rare. We report the case of a 33-year-old man admitted because of chest pain. Echocardiography had shown suspected round cyst in the myocardium. More diagnostic managements had demonstrated cystic lesion in the liver, spleen and lungs. There were also multiple cystic lesions in both lungs. He refused surgery and was taken to medical therapy. Myocardial involvement by hydatid cysts occurs very rarely. The main treatment approach for cardiac hydatid disease in patients should be surgery. The alternative treatment was done to those who refused surgical removal, adjuvant therapy such as albendazole for at least 1–6 months. Because myocardial involvement by hydatid cysts is uncommon, we decided to report this rare case.

“…There are studies showing that the risk is increased in hydatid cysts located centrally in the liver and located in the liver dome. Literature has revealed that the high white blood cell value and eosinophilia are significant for biliary fistula, although not alone, together with the elevation in the other parameters mentioned above (98,(104)(105)(106)(107)(108)(109)(110)(111)(112).…”

“…There are generally case series in the literature on the peritoneal rupture of the cyst. Based on the case, in which acute rupture of the cyst has the possibility of anaphylaxis and peritoneal spread of the cyst, that was urgently treated with laparotomy or laparoscopy and then albendazole administration for 3-6 months, open or laparoscopic surgery may be considered after albenda-zole treatment for a certain period before surgery in a patient with a late-detected acute abdomen with self-limited closed perforation in the abdomen or without anaphylaxis or allergy symptoms (94,106,(143)(144)(145)(146).…”

Objective: Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) is one of the important problems of the Eurasian region. We aimed to prepare a consensus report in order to update the treatment approaches of this disease. This study was conducted by Turkish HPB Surgery Association. Material and Methods: This study was conducted with the modified Delphi model. For this purpose, we conducted a three-stage consensus-building approach. Results: Six topics, including diagnosis, medical treatment, percutaneous treatment, surgical treatment, management of complications and posttreatment follow-up and recurrences in HCE were discussed. Conclusion: The expert panel made recommendations for every topic.
