“…Primary muscular hydatidosis, a zoonotic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus larva, is mostly noted endemically in the regions were sheep breeding is performed [1][2][3][4] . The disease spreads by the entry of the larvae into the portal circulation after they penetrate into the intestinal mucosa.…”

“…The disease spreads by the entry of the larvae into the portal circulation after they penetrate into the intestinal mucosa. Because of the blood-filtering functions of the intestines, 75% of the larvae are transferred to the liver, 15% to lungs and the remaining to the other parts of the body, and musculo-skeletal involvement is observed only on 1%-4% of patients [1][2][3][4] . In particular, it the larva may spread to locations with high vascularity, such as the vertebrae, long bone epiphysis, ilia, skull and ribs [8][9][10] .…”

“…However, primary skeletal muscle hydatid cyst (HC) involvement is rarely (0.5%-4%) observed, however due to its high recurrence risk, is considered as a serious public health problem in endemic regions [1][2][3][4][5] . Echinococcus granulosus (E. Granulosus), which can be considered as the reason for primary muscle involvement, is difficult to diagnose and treat as it is rarely observed [5] .…”

Echinococcus granulosus with primary muscular involvement is difficult to diagnose and treat, as it is rarely observed. It may lead to an acute clinical presentation that is occasionally confused with peripheral circulatory disorder findings due to pressure impacts. A 48-year-old male patient has applied to our clinic with severe pain of the right cruris and circulatory disorder that is caused by the compressive effect of the extensive intermuscular cystic lesion surrounded by the septa between the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. The cyst was carefully drained with needle aspiration, under the guidance of ultrasonography both for histopathological diagnosis and to reduce the compressive impact of the mass. Echinococcus granulosus was identified by histological and pathological inspection. Albendazole was administered daily 400 mg (2×1). After four weeks of treatment, the cyst, together with its capsule, was surgically removed and the patients recovered clinically. Prior to mass excision of the cyst, percutaneous needle aspiration increases the efficacy of medical and surgical treatment, and may be recommended in suitable cases in order to mitigate the risk of recurrence.

Intramuscular Hydatid Cyst of Adductor Magnus: A Rare Isolated Presentation

2013

The muscular localization of the hydatid cyst is uncommon (0.5 to 5.4%) and it is usually secondary to hepatic or pulmonary disease. A case of intramuscular hydatid cyst in adductor magnus is reported, calling attention to this atypical localization of the disease, which should be taken into account in the practice of surgery. The absence of residual cysts in the most common sites confers a higher interest to the case reported in this work. Though hydatid disease is endemic in India, we present this case due to the rarity of site and typical ultrasonography and computed tomography picture.

Primary paraspinal hydatid cyst treated with puncture, aspiration, injection and re-aspiration (PAIR) technique: a case report

Hydatid disease is a parasitic tapeworm infection that usually involves liver and lungs. Primary skeletal muscle hydatid cyst without liver and lung involvement is rare. En bloc resection without inducing rupture and spreading the daughter cyst is recommended treatment strategy and accepted to be curative for intramuscular hydatid cyst. We report a case of primary hydatid cyst of the erector spinae muscle which was treated successfully with ultrasonography guided puncture, aspiration, injection of 95% ethanol and re-aspiration (PAIR) technique.
