“…Traveling and tourism has change its pattern to a wide spread disease even in developed countries. [1][2][3][4] Hydatid cyst has been treated using medical treatment and cutaneous drainage and surgery, [5][6][7][8] but the main treatment has been surgery using different techniques which generally is divided in two subgroups; radical one and conservative. [9][10][11] Using conservative procedure, the cyst would be drained out without omitting the pericystial layer; while radical procedure focuses on removing all the cyst layers as well as percystial one.…”

[2,3,7,12] Conservative therapies are simple and safe procedures but comparing to radical one post operative complications, recurrence and hospital stay time are higher. [12][13][14][15] In this study 135 patients with hydatid cyst have been retrospectively evaluated during 10 years of experience and the outcomes of different techniques have been compared to see if the radical therapy has less complications and recurrence.…”

The hepatic hydatid cyst is a major health problem in endemic areas. Surgery is still the best choice for the treatment of hydatid cyst of the liver. There is controversy regarding efficacy of radical versus conservative surgical approaches. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the two surgical methods in patients treated for the hepatic hydatid cyst. This is a retrospective review of the medical records of 135 patients who underwent surgery for the hepatic hydatid cyst from 1993 to 2003. Surgery comprised conservative methods (evacuation of the cyst content and excision of the inner cyst layers) and radical methods (total excision of the cyst and removal of its outer layer). One hundred thirty five patients underwent liver surgery. Conservative surgery was performed for 71 (53%), whereas, the remaining 64 patients (47%) underwent radical surgery. Local recurrence rate of the cysts was lower in the radical versus conservative surgery group and the mean length of hospital stay was shorter in the radical surgery group. Radical surgery of the hepatic hydatid cyst may be the preferred treatment because of its low rate of local recurrence, as well as short hospital stay.

“…1 In these regions, the incidence ranges from 1-220 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. 2,3 The most common organs affected by hydatid cyst are the liver (70%) and lungs (25%). However, spleen, kidneys, bile ducts, mesentery, heart, brain, and musculoskeletal or soft tissue may also be affected.…”

Abstract:Hydatid cyst is not an uncommon disease, primarily affecting the liver, lungs and other viscera. In case of disseminated disease, cysts may be found in uncommon locations like muscle and subcutaneous tissue. However, the presence of a hydatid cyst in subcutaneous tissue only, without being present in liver or lungs is an extremely rare entity. Here we report such a rare case of solitary primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst, misdiagnosed previously as a cold abscess until aspiration clinched the diagnosis.A 46 year old female patient presented with a gradually progressive swelling in the right supraclavicular region. Imaging studies favoured a cold abscess. Haematoxylin and Eosin stained aspirated fluid from the swelling showed the presence of scolices with hooklets. This finding conclusively proved the swelling to be a hydatid cyst. Serological tests were negative. No other organ involvement was found. The case was finally diagnosed to be an extremely rare case of primary solitary subcutaneous hydatid cyst in the supraclavicular region. The cyst was surgically removed.This case points to the fact that although hydatid cyst is a rare possibility, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any cystic lesion. Without the correct diagnosis, proper therapy can be missed and might lead to recurrence of the disease.
