“…Patients who have an extrahepatic hydatid cyst present mostly with abdominal pain and discomfort [7,8]. Diagnosis can be challenging [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. We present here an unusual case of primary gastric hydatid cyst and a review of the literature makes this a rare case and as far as we know, this is the first report of a primary stomach hydatid disease in the literature.…”

“…Hydatid disease, caused by the Echinococcus granulosus is an endemic disease especially in regions like Eurasia and South American countries [1][2][3]. The stomach is an unusual site for a hydatid cyst, and there are a few primary peritoneal hydatid cyst case reports in the literature [1][2][3]7,8].…”

Hydatid cyst is an infestation disease of the humans that caused by Echinococcus Granulosus and can involve all organs and tissues that produce cyst everywhere in body. The most common organ of body for development of a hydatid cyst is the liver (75%) and the lung (15%). We present a primary stomach hydatid cyst resected via laparotomy with the affected stomach wall. As far as we know, this is the first report of a primary stomach hydatid disease in the case presentation: A 64-year-old woman presented with a palpable mass on the epigastric and left upper quadrant of the abdomen. She had an 8-month history of intermittent abdominal pain attacks, discomfort, weight loss, anemia and early satiety. Abdominal examination revealed a palpable, immobile mass at the epigastrium and left hypochondriac region. Laboratory findings were unremarkable. Abdominal U&S and computed tomography (CT) scans revealed a heterogeneous mass originated from the stomach wall, spleen, pancreas or liver measuring 15x8cm. No pathological appearance was detected in the chest x-ray. Upper GI endoscopy was also unrevealing during diagnostic laparotomy. The pancreas, liver and spleen were intact, but we found a huge cystic mass located at the anterior surface of body of stomach. The mass was taken out from inside of the abdomen. Stomach defect closed the pathology report revealed a hydatid cyst. Keywords:

Hydatid disease or hydatidosis is a worldwide zoonosis disease caused by the tapeworm of Echinococcus granulosus and still widely endemic in Tunisia especially in rural areas where the sheep-dog cycle is dominant. It is an important public health problem in the pediatric age group causing significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of primary hydatid cyst of the small intestine in a child and we want to highlight the difficulty that we meet in the diagnosis despite the contribution of imaging.

Hydatidosis is a cosmopolitan parasitosis that is still endemic in several countries. The main locations of this disease are the liver and lungs accounting for more than 90% of cases. Other rare localizations can be seen in less than 10% of cases and are said to be unusual or "ectopic": splenic, renal, bone, neurological, cardiac, soft tissue... The pancreatic and gastrointestinal localizations of humain echinococcosis remain exceptional and unusual even in the endemic areas of this parasitosis, often representing real diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Through this review we discuss the main epidemiological and clinical features of pancreatic and gastrointestinal localizations of human hydatid disease.
