“…However a contrast enhanced computed tomography is always required to confirm the diagnosis as well as to plan the therapy. (3) ELISA can be a good serological test for the confirmation of hydatid cyst with a sensitivity of 95-97%. Parasitic infestation may also present with asymptomatic rise in the eosinophil counts.…”

Objective: Hydatid cyst is presently a prevalent health problem in our area and country. Primary involvement of other intra-abdominal organs is rarely seen. We analyzed the cases of patients who had been surgically treated because of extra-hepatic primary intra-abdominal hydatid cysts alongside with literature. Methods:The medical records of a total of 22 patients who were treated for primary intra-abdominal hydatid cysts with no liver involvement were retrospectively studied.Results: While 16 (72.7%) of the patients were female, 6 (27. 3%) were male, and their mean age was 44. 5 (26-75) years. The cyst was most frequently seen in the spleen (n= 8). All the patients had elective surgical procedures. Twelve (54%) patients needed to have organ resection. Total cyst excision could be achieved in 16 (72.7%) patients. The other 6 (27.3%) cases had partial cystectomy. All the patients were administered post-op 10 mg/kg albendazole. The mean follow-up period of the patients was 40 (6-68) months and no recurrences were seen in any of the patients. Conclusions:The fact that echinococcus granulosus can involve every organ should always be remembered. Although no hydatid cysts were seen in the liver or the lungs, all the other systems should be examined carefully according to the complaints of the patient. Hydatid cysts should be considered, especially in endemic areas, in the differential diagnosis of cystic masses with intra-abdominal localization. Total pericystectomy where possible, is the treatment of choice. J Clin Exp Invest 2013; 4 (2): 175-179

“…Peritoneal hydatidosis accounts for 13% of all abdominal hydatidosis. It is almost always secondary to seeding from spontaneous rupture of hepatic cyst or spillage of cyst fluid during previous surgery [1,2]. It may occur in many different appearances: as isolated peritoneal lesions with the same characteristics of a hepatic cyst or as a massive peritoneal spread.…”

Secondary peritoneal hydatidosis is caused by spontaneous or iatrogenic rupture of hepatic echinococcal cysts. We describe the case of a 65-year-old Tunisian male patient with previous history of liver hydatidosis who presented to our attention with subocclusive status. Imaging revealed a retrovesical hydatid cyst, adherent to the sigmoid colon. The treatment of choice was surgical removal of the cyst and the sigmoid colon. The patient is now being closely followed up.
