“…Although the most common site is the liver, there are hydatid cyst cases developed in almost every part of the body in the literature. Liver and lung hydatid cysts account for about 90% of all cases (3). Involvement of isolated breast tissue is very rare in hydatid cyst disease.…”

RezumatIntroducere: Chistul hidatic este o zoonoză întâlnită în zonele endemice. Aceasta reprezintă o reală problemă în ţara noastră, cu precădere în zona de est şi sud-est, reprezentată de Regiunea Anatolia. Invadarea de ţesut mamar izolat este foarte rară în boala hidatică. Din câte cunoaştem, hidatidoza izolată mamară recurentă nu a fost raportată până acum în literatură. Prezentare de caz: Scopul nostru este de a prezenta cazul unei paciente diagnosticată cu boală hidatică izolată mamară recurentă ipsilateral, prezentând o intervenţie chirurgicală pentru hidatidoză la nivelul glandei mamare drepte în urmă cu 9 ani. Concluzie: Boala hidatică trebuie luată în considerare în diagnosticul diferenţial al maselor mamare cu aspect chistic, în special în zonele endemice. Dacă pacienta a fost supusă în antecedente unei intervenţii chirurgicale pentru boală hidatică mamară, hidatidoza mamară recurentă trebuie luată în considerare la momentul diagnosticului diferenţial.

“…Livestock infection maintains the life cycle of E. granulosus as offal is often consumed by dogs (McManus et al, 2003). The infection also leads to economic losses due to the condemnation of livers and to lowered meat and milk production (Torgerson, 2003).…”

A total of 10,818 domestic ruminants (3913 cattle, 2722 sheep, 3779 goats, 404 dromedaries) slaughtered in various abattoirs in Tunisia between 2003 and 2010 were examined for the presence of Echinococcus granulosus hydatid cysts. The prevalence of cystic echinococcosis (CE) was 16.42% in sheep, 8.56% in cattle, 5.94% in dromedaries and 2.88% in goats. CE prevalence increased with age according to an asymptotic model and there was evidence of variation in infection pressure depending on the region of Tunisia where the animals were slaughtered. Cattle appeared to have the highest infection pressure of the species examined. The mean intensity of hepatic cysts was higher than that of pulmonary cysts in all species. The highest mean intensity of infection with E. granulosus larvae was observed in cattle (18.14) followed by sheep (9.58), goats (2.31) and dromedaries (2.12). The abundance of infection increased in a linear fashion with age in all animal species. Cyst abundance varied with species of animal and district of Tunisia. Cysts from dromedaries were more fertile (44.44%) than those from sheep (30.25%), goats (30.32%) and cattle (0.95%). The viability of the protoscoleces from fertile cysts from cattle (78.45%) was higher than those from sheep (70.71%) and camels (69.57%). The lowest protoscolex viability was recorded for hydatid cysts from goats (20.21%). This epidemiological study confirms the importance of CE in all domestic ruminant species, particularly in sheep, throughout Tunisia and emphasizes the need to interrupt parasite transmission by preventive integrated approaches in a CE control programme.

“…The majority of the hydatid cysts in man are seen in the liver (approximately 75%) because it is the first filtering system for all the ingested ova, which enter the portal system. 13 A few of these ova that have an average size of 35 μm escape the sinusoidal system of the liver to enter the systemic circulation and pass through the lungs, which acts as a second filter for the ova, making it the second most common site for the disease (approximately 15%). 14 Hydatid disease of the lung occurs from the larvae, which get trapped in the arterial capillaries of the lung.…”
