“…Chevalier et al reported 2% of subcutaneous hydatid cyst cases in his study with presence of cyst in other organs also. Reports of primary subcutaneous hydatid cysts are very rare 6 .Dirican et al failed to find a single case of palmar subcutaneous hydatid cyst in reviewof literature but reported two subcutaneous hydatid cysts which were treated surgically and the cysts were primary as the patients did not have any history of surgical intervention and were devoid of any other affected organ 7 .…”

Hydatid disease caused by larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus usually affects lungs and liver of human and animals. Affection of subcutaneous tissue is rare; though not rarest but often clinically mistaken as neurofibroma or lipoma. Preoperative diagnosis is mandatory to avoid surgical contamination or future accidents. Two middle aged males presented with forearm nodules and one female presented with an arm nodule; all of which on needle aspiration cytology and wet smear examination provisionally diagnosed as hydatid cyst, later confirmed radiologically and surgically. Primary hydatid disease constitutes potentially serious differential diagnoses in subcutaneous swelling.

“…The indirect hemagglutination test is positive in more than 80% of hepatic cases. A positive hemagglutination test is significant but negative result does not indicate absence of disease 2,6 . Presence of daughter cysts and absence of capsular calcification, detachment of membranes, and irregular edges suggest a viable cyst.…”

“…Radiological imaging including USG, CT and MRI are excellent imaging modalities for hydatid cysts, which can delineate exact site as well as identify the daughter cysts and hydatid sand which are specific to echinococcal infestation. MRI can also show a typical distinctive feature of cyst within cyst in case of the multicystic hydatid cyst (Chevalier et al, 1994).…”

Problem statement: Hydatidosis has dispersed worldly and is one of the common dangerous diseases between human and animals and is found abundantly in areas that human, dogs and herbivorous are in close relationship. Approach: In this study, firstly, 32 rats were divided into two groups of control and case and 2000 protoscolices were injected into peritoneal hole. After two months, rats of case group were feed by drinkable 5 mL Triclabendazole + 3.41 mL Levamisole for 60 days. Then after 6 months of contamination period, rats of control group and case group killed by anesthetic drug then necropsy and guts inspection of hydatid cyst was implemented. Results: The results show that in livers of control group there are 2 cysts, in kidneys 9 cysts and in lungs 87 cases. Average of contamination in this group to hydatid cyst was 32.6 but in case group there were in liver on cyst, in kidneys 5 cysts and in lungs 63 cysts. Average of guts contamination to hydatid cyst in case group was 23. Conclusion: Analyzing results in case and control groups shows that Triclabendazole + Levamisole drugs effect was 30% that this amount is not sufficient for hydatid cyst treatment.

“…Indirect haemaggulitation test (IHA) and Latex agglutination test are highly sensitive and Immunoelectrophoresis, Double diffusion test (DD test), Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Radioallergosorbent test (RAST) are highly specifi c [1]. Ultrasound and CT-scan are useful for delineating the location of the cyst but the fi ndings are nonspecifi c. Hypo intense peripheral rim with multicystic mass (cyst inside cyst) is a distinctive feature of hydatid cyst on MRI [3]. We did not perform any serological test or any imaging of subcutaneous tissue in our case as patient was biopsy proven case of hydatid cyst.…”

“…If worm is not trapped in either the liver or lungs, or if it travels in lymphatics and bypasses the liver, it may lodge virtually anywhere in the body, most commonly in the peritoneum(10-16%), spleen (2-3%), kidneys (1-4%), uterus & adenexae (0.5-1.5%), pancreas (0.3-0.8%), others (0.1-3%) [1]. In different series, the frequency of the subcutaneous tissue involvement was approximately 1-2% [2][3][4].…”

Recurrent solitary hydatid cyst of the subcutaneous tissue

et al. 2009

A 28-year-old male patient presented with a recurrent swelling in the left lateral chest wall just below the left axilla since seven years. Patient was operated for the same swelling eight years back and its biopsy report showed hydatid cyst. Patient had not taken any antihelminthic post operatively. Based on this, diagnosis of recurrent subcutaneous hydatid cyst was made and total cystectomy was done. Post operatively patient was started on albendazole. On follow up of one year there is no recurrence. Hydatid cyst is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus. Four species of the Echinococcus tapeworm can produce infection in humans. E. granulosus and E. multilocularis are the most common, causing cystic and alveolar echinococcosis respectively, while E. vogeli and E. oligarthrus have rarely been associated with human infection. Hydatid cyst of the subcutaneous is extremely rare. This case report highlights the rare location of the hydatid cyst as well its recurrence in rare location.
