“…The most commonly recommended treatment option for symptomatic sinistral portal hypertension has been surgical correction of the primary cause. Partial or total cystectomy, cystenterostomy, and external drainage have been suggested as surgical treatment options (5,11). Prophylactic splenectomy may not be necessary for all patients with sinistral portal hypertension.…”

Hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Hydatid cysts are commonly located in the liver and lungs. The occurrence of pancreatic hydatid cysts is very rare, even in endemic areas. Sinistral portal hypertension, which is rarely seen, occurs when a pathological process causes splenic vein occlusion. A 26-year-old male patient presented with abdominal pain. He had a history of operation for hydatid cyst of the lung 15 years ago. A left thoracotomy incision scar was observed during his physical examination. Laboratory findings revealed no abnormalities. Abdominal ultrasonography revealed a 96×69-mm lobular, contoured, well-circumscribed cystic lesion with thickened septation. Abdominal magnetic resonance imaging revealed a 100×76-mm smooth, bordered cystic lesion containing septations in the body and tail of the pancreas compressing the splenic artery and vein, causing sinistral portal hypertension. Dilatation was noted in the left gastroepiploic vein. The patient underwent cystotomy. Pancreatic fistula developed during the postoperative follow-up. The patient was discharged in 20 days without postoperative complications. No complications were observed during the follow-up period of 7 months. Surgery should be considered as a more conservative approach.

“…Marsupialization and internal drainage into the gut are the most common interventions but percutaneous drainage, in patients with high surgical risk, has also been described (Schiano di Visconte et al, 2003). A distal pancreatectomy may be a reasonable treatment option for a cyst located in the tail (Wani et al, 2000).…”

Although the liver and lung are by far the most common localizations for the larval cysts of Echinococcus granulosus in humans, the cysts may develop in other sites and there cause signs and symptoms that may be easily confused with those of other illnesses. In a retrospective study in Turkey, six male and 11 female cases of cystic echinococcosis, each with at least one cyst in an unusual site, were investigated. The patients, who had a mean age of 41.6 years, had cysts in the pancreas, intra-abdominal cavity, kidney, spleen, ovary, breast, mediastinum, chest wall, muscle and/or subcutaneous tissue. In terms of Gharbi's classification, 15 (75%) of the 20 cysts in these patients were type I and five (25%) were type II. Fourteen of the cases each had single cysts, two had multiple cysts, and one had an unknown number of cysts. All but one of the cases (who had a pancreatic cyst) were treated by total cystectomy. In areas where cystic echinococcosis is endemic, any patient presenting with a cystic mass, in any tissue or organ, should be considered a potential case of the disease and be carefully investigated by radio-imaging and/or ultrasonography.
