“…A case reported by Bougioukas et al showed the right lobe of the liver's hydatid cyst with perforation into the right colon and an uncomplicated calcified right ovarian cyst, in addition to advanced age in this female patient, characteristics which were similar to our case [9]. In Restivo et al's study, a 64-year-old male patient, calcified cysts in segment 4 with a diameter of 6 cm as a result of migration with hepatic hydatid-colonic fistula associated with development of intestinal obstruction was reported [14].…”

Hydatid disease is very common in endemic areas and is one of the most frequent parasitoses in Turkey. We present a rare case of hydatidosis related to the right hepatic colon lumen. Hydatid cysts were present on the liver, in the right adrenal region, and also on the hepatic flexura, surrounded by the right colon and omentum. In our case, a cyst adjacent to the ascending colon had ruptured into the colon lumen and developed a cystocolonic communication. Cysts may not always be detectable by ultrasound (US); adrenal and right colonic cysts may not be detected, depending on the patient's colonic gas superposition factors or other reasons related to the operator. In our case, multiple hydatid cysts and cystocolonic communication of complications of the cyst were found with multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT), and then, a colonoscopy identified the cystocolonic communication. These results reveal the important role of CT in the differential diagnosis process. J Clin Exp Invest 2016; 7 (2): 207-210

“…Hollow abdominal organ perforation is very rare [5]. The duodenum, stomach and colon have also been reported on in connection with hydatid cysts [6][7][8][9]. Ultrasonography (US) and computed tomography (CT) are used as major methods of diagnosis.…”

“…Since our case was operated for the hydatid cyst in the liver, it was recognized that cysts in these two organs were primary cysts from the liver. The pre-operative diagnosis of cysts in our case was conducted with USG, MRI and CT consistent with the literature (3)(4)(5)(6)11,12) and the cuticular layer of the cyst was revealed with histopathological methods post-operationally.…”

“…The symptoms could differ based on the size and localization of the cysts (1)(2)(3)(4). Clinical history, serologic tests and various imaging techniques such as ultrasonography (USG), computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help make the diagnosis of cyst hydatid (3)(4)(5). The aim of the present study was to present a case with secondary hydatid cysts in both uterus and colon.…”

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a common helminthic disease induced by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus). According to the World Health Organization data, this disease is endemic in South America, Eastern Europe, Russia, the Middle East and China and exhibits a high annual incidence rate of 50 per 100.000 people in these regions (1,2). In humans, the organs that CE is commonly observed are the liver and the lungs. Cysts are identified less frequently in other organs. Cysts may be localized in an organ and structure such as abdominal or pleural cavities, kidney, spleen, bone, brain, eye, ovary,
