International Journal of Case Reports and Images (IJCRI) is an international, peer reviewed, monthly, open access, online journal, publishing high-quality, articles in all areas of basic medical sciences and clinical specialties.Aim of IJCRI is to encourage the publication of new information by providing a platform for reporting of unique, unusual and rare cases which enhance understanding of disease process, its diagnosis, management and clinico-pathologic correlations. Conclusion:In endemic regions hydatid cyst should be considered in patients presenting with gallbladder lump.

“…Splenic hydatid cyst occurs in 1.5-3.5% of all cases of abdominal echinococcosis across all ages and in both sexes (1,(3)(4)(5)(7)(8)(9). SHCs usually coexist with liver hydatid cysts (secondary); however, in some cases, the spleen is the primary location (4,10).…”

“…It is a parasitic infestation caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10). Hydatid cysts may develop in any body organ but occur most frequently in the liver (50-77%) and lungs (18-35%) and occasionally in other organs, such as the spleen (0.5-8%) (1,2).…”

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection characterized by cyst formation in any organ, although the liver and lungs are most commonly involved. Hydatid disease of the spleen is uncommon, representing <8% of all human hydatid diseases. Splenic hydatid cysts usually coexist with liver hydatid cysts (secondary form), although the spleen is the primary location (primary form) in some cases. The clinical signs and symptoms of splenic hydatid cysts depend on their size, relationship with adjacent organs, and complications. One of the complications of splenic hydatid cysts is cyst rupture either after trauma or spontaneously as a result of increased intracystic pressure. These cysts may rupture into a hollow organ, through the diaphragm into the pleural cavity, or directly into the peritoneal cavity. A splenic hydatid cyst that ruptures into the peritoneal cavity may cause complications, including signs of peritoneal irritation, urticaria, anaphylaxis, and death, as in our case. Therefore, a hydatid cyst rupture requires both emergency surgery and careful postoperative care. In this study, we present a case of a giant splenic hydatid cyst that ruptured into the peritoneal cavity without any trauma. A review of cases reported in the English literature about splenic hydatid cyst perforation is also discussed.

ÖZKistik ekinokokkozis sıklıkla karaciğer ve akciğerde görülmekle birlikte birçok organda yerleşim gösterebilir. Hastalığın endemik olarak gö-rüldüğü ülkelerde bile pankreas yerleşimli hidatik kist olguları nadir olup, genellikle izoledir. Pankreas kist hidatikleri özellikle psödokist ve pankreasın kistik karsinomları ile ayırıcı tanısının yapılması gereken olgular olması nedeni ile önem taşımaktadır. Literatür (PubMed) taramasında çocukluk yaş grubunda pankreas ile birlikte karaciğerin de tutulduğu kistik ekinokokkozis olgusuna rastlayamadık. Bu yazıda, kolestazla gelen çocukta pankreatik kistik ekinokokkozisin etyolojide rol alabileceği ve bu kistin izole olmayabileceği vurgulanıp, olgu literatür ışığında tartışıldı. Anahtar Kelimeler: Kistik ekinokokkozis, kolestaz, pankreas Geliş Tarihi: 30.08.2015Kabul Tarihi: 29.03.2016 ABSTRACTAlthough hydatid cysts are often seen in the liver and lungs, they may be present in many organs. Even in countries where hydatid cyst disease is endemic, the occurrence of pancreatic hydatid cysts is rare. Pancreatic hydatid cysts are important for the differential diagnosis of patients with pancreatic pseudocysts and cystic carcinomas. We could not find cystic echinococcosis cases which are kept together pancreas and liver in PubMed. In this article, we highlight the fact that pancreatic cystic echinococcosis may play a role in the etiology of cholestasis and that cysts may not be isolated in the pancreas in a pediatric population.

Primary extrahepatic abdominal hydatidosis

Abstract: It is difficult to diagnose extrahepatic echinococcosis as it usually is not suspected. Symptoms are related to size, location or ensuing complication of the cyst. It should be strongly suspected in differential diagnosis of all abdominal cysts especially in an endemic area.
