“…Humans are considered accidental intermediate hosts and are infected through ingestion of tapeworm eggs in contaminated food, water or soil or direct contact with the definitive animal hosts (i.e., dogs). Hydatid cysts developed frequently in the liver (80–90%), most commonly the right lobe (50–70%) as the larvae (metacestodes) released penetrates the intestines and spreads hematogenously [4] . Because of its slow growth, patients may be asymptomatic for years until these cysts enlarge and cause compressive symptoms.…”

“…A total of six cases (4.9%) in this study were diagnosed with hydatid liver disease. Hassan et al conducted a study at SKIMS, studying hydatid liver disease and disseminated hydatidosis [ 30 ]. They reported a series of cases in the tertiary care hospital of SKIMS and presented a brief overview of the disease as well as the radiographs of patients.…”

Aim: This study aimed to determine the indications and demographic profile of hepatic resection at Sher-I-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS), the performed types of hepatic resection, as well as assess the details of the operation and perioperative complications of hepatic resection. Methods: This is a prospective, retrospective observational study. The retrospective study period was from January 2005 to August 2015 and the prospective study period was from 2015 till 2017. Prospective patients were clinically evaluated by medical history and clinical examination and also underwent various investigations. The patients were scored on Child-Pugh and American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) scores for risk stratification and prepared for surgery, which included segmentectomy to major liver resection. The retrospective data were obtained from the Medical Records Department (MRD). Statistical analysis was done on SPSS software 25.0 version (Armonk, NY: IBM Corp.). Results: This study included 122 patients with a male to female ratio of 1:1.59. The patients' age was between 1 and 73 years. The patients' most common complaint was right upper quadrant abdominal pain. The main established clinical diagnosis was oriental cholangiohepatitis (OCH) (36.9%) followed by carcinoma of gallbladder (CaGB) which accounted for 37 cases (30.4%). Liver metastases including solitary masses and multiple lesions were 10 cases (8.2%). Fifty-five patients underwent left lateral segmentectomy (45.1%) and mostly for OCH. Standard wedge resection was done in 30.7% of cases and for all cases of CaGB. The mean blood loss was 146.5 ml. A total of 37 patients had complications. Wound infection was the most common complication, occurring in 10 patients (8.2%). Conclusion: Patients with hepatobiliary pathology, necessitating liver resection are now routinely admitted to the Department of Surgical Gastroenterology in SKIMS, Srinagar. Patients are carefully evaluated and operated with a confirmed definitive diagnosis. The overall surgical outcome does not differ from India's best centers.

“…Still, extrahepatic spread occurs when oncospheres pass through the liver to the systemic circulation. They form cysts primarily in the lung, and less commonly in the spleen, brain, or bones [4] . The multiplicity of cysts is thought to be linked to the infection dose and the number of oncospheres filtered through the liver and lungs [3] .…”

Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a zoonotic infection that occurs worldwide, particularly in endemic areas in the Middle East, including Egypt. Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus) eggs can be accidentally ingested by human in contaminated food or drinks and reach primarily the liver forming hydatid cysts with reported predilection for the right lobe. However, the segmental orientation of hepatic echinococcosis in the light of the clinical presentation and serological findings needs further investigation as such correlation may carry additional clues to guide the therapeutic management and prognostic outcomes. Objectives: The present study was designed to determine the relation of anatomical location of intrahepatic hydatid cyst to its development, activity, and host immune response; as well as its potential extrahepatic spread. Patients and Methods: A total of 46 patients having liver hydatid cysts were evaluated. Intrahepatic cysts were categorized according to Couinaud's segments by ultrasound examination; and analysis was done regarding cyst size, cyst staging and activity, and extrahepatic spread, in addition to clinical features and patterns of IgG level using two serodiagnostic tests IHA and ELISA. Results: Hydatid cysts were found in all segments with the exception of segment I. Active cysts were mostly found in segment VII (no. = 11; 47.8%), recording a large diameter size with a mean of 6.55 cm. Inactive cysts recorded statistically significant smaller diameters with a mean of 5.55 cm denoting cyst evolution and degeneration. Serum antibody level correlated significantly with radiological profile of cysts activity in the studied population. Finally, extrahepatic spread was observed in hydatid cysts involving all liver segments with the exception of segment V. Conclusion: Hydatid cysts were found in liver segments II through to VIII. While cysts in segment VII demonstrated large sized active cysts with extrahepatic spread, cysts confined to segment V pose minimal risk for extrahepatic spread.
