“…The scattered brood capsules with hooklets along with the cyst wall having an outer cellular laminated layer and inner germinal layer in spleen infected with hydatid cyst in mice was observed by Rana et al (2014). While Singh et al (1992) recorded mild depletion of lymphoid cells and presence of large mononuclear and plasma cells in and around germinal center of cortical lymphoid follicles along with marked macrophage reaction was detected in the parafollicular areas in spleen of pigs, which is similar with present findings in mithun.…”

A pathological study was carried out in different helminth parasite infection organs in 110 animals during the period from 2010 to 2016. Histopathological examination of hydatid cysts in the liver, showed extensive fibrous connective tissue proliferation with eosinophilic and lymphocytic infiltration, in lung, parenchyma showed severe emphysema with infiltration of alveolar macrophages and lymphocytes infiltration. In infection, polymorphonuclear infiltration in the sub-mucosa with hyper activity of goblet cells leading to occlusion of the gland was noted in the tissue sections. In amphistomiasis, intestinal mucosa showed diffuse hyperemia, thickening and ulceration. Petechiae were observed in the anterior part of the duodenum and jejunum. Presence of parasites in the abomasum revealed petechial haemorrhages on the mucousa. In infection, the rectum showed hypertrophy, hyperplasia and hyperactivity of the goblet cells. In some places there is focal aggregation of mononuclear cells.

Hydatid cyst involving the spleen is a rare clinical condition (0.5-4%). We report a case of multi-parasitic infection in a 62 year old female (hydatid cyst and ascaris lumbricoides infestation), confirmed during surgery. The purpose of the paper is to emphasize on the rare association of the two parasitic infections, affecting two different organs (spleen and jejunum). The combined symptomatology of the two parasites could mimic an acute surgical abdomen.

“…Splenic Hydatid Disease may also arise from retrograde venous route through portal circulation which bypasses liver and lung. Secondary splenic hydatid cyst can also occur by systemic dissemination or by intraperitoneal spread followed by rupture of liver hydatid cyst [8].…”

A Rare Case Report- An Incidental Finding of Isolated Unilocular Splenic Hydatid Cyst

Splenic Hydatid Cyst is a very rare presentation with less than 5% of total incidences of Cystic Echinococcosis. It is usually due to spread of cysts from other regions leading to secondaries. Primary isolated splenic hydatid cyst without involvement of any other organs is even rarer. We report an unusual case of a female who presented as Abnormal Uterine Bleeding (AUB) with an incidental finding of Isolated Splenic Hydatid Cyst with absence of involvement of any other organ. Patient underwent laparotomy and total splenectomy was done. This case report targets to report a rare case of incidental finding of isolated unilocular hydatid cyst of spleen and describes its management.
