“…32,59 In fact, the growth of the hydatid cyst within a muscle is not easy due to the contractility of muscles and its lactic acid content. 1 Interestingly, muscular hydatid disease is commonly encountered in the muscles of the neck and trunk due to the increased vascularity and decreased activity of these muscle groups 1,59 (Fig.…”

Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is a parasitic disease that is endemic in many parts of the world. Hydatid cyst demonstrates a variety of imaging features, varying according to growth stage, associated complications, and affected tissue. The radiologic findings range from purely cystic lesions to a completely solid appearance. Ultrasound is the most important imaging modality for liver hydatid disease and clearly demonstrates the floating membranes, daughter cysts, and hydatid sand characteristically seen in purely cystic lesions. The radiologist's familiarity with the imaging findings of the disease is very important for earlier diagnosis and an appropriate treatment. There are several classification schemes for liver hydatid cysts based on their ultrasound appearances; the initial classification by Gharbi et al and the World Health Organization classification are the most commonly preferred. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging play a key role in recognizing the complications such as rupture and infection of cysts associated with hydatid disease. Today, percutaneous treatment of liver hydatid cysts, a safe, easily applicable, and well-tolerated method, has become the most effective and reliable treatment procedure in most cases if the hydatid cyst is viable. In patients treated with the percutaneous treatment technique, a decrease in the dimensions of the cyst, solidification of the cyst contents, and irregularity in the walls of cysts are signs suggestive of cure. The radiologist should also be familiar with the postoperative follow-up ultrasound findings of hydatid cyst to prevent misinterpretation of the hypoechoic, anechoic, or hyperechoic appearance of posttreatment hydatid disease appearance as recurrence.

“…Hydatid disease in the soft tissues may be of different types. 1,59 However, multiple hydatid cysts can be seen due to spontaneous rupture or from trauma or surgery. 1 Recently, Akhan et al 13 applied the percutaneous treatment to soft tissue hydatid cysts and noted that the method should be considered as an alternative to surgery.…”

“…Previous reports of the involvement of vessels include those of embolism of the germinative membranes caused by ruptured cardiac hydatid cysts, 4 spontaneous or surgical rupture of a hydatid cyst into an adjacent vessel, 5 and thrombosis of an artery and/or vein due to compression by hydatid cysts. 6 Hydatid cyst inside pulmonary arteries is an exceptional localization and most frequently a consequence of embolism from primary cardiac locations. Arterial wall involvement may be caused by embryos of the parasite entering the vasa vasorum of the relevant artery through a defect in the intima.…”

Cystic echinococcosis (hydatid cyst), caused by Echinococcus granulosus, has worldwide distribution and poses a health problem in endemic areas. Embolization of hydatid cysts into the vascular tree is an unusual manifestation of the disease. The hydatid embolism results from spontaneous or traumatic rupture of the cyst, and rare case reports of this kind are not well documented in the literature. We report a case of a hydatid embolism from a ruptured hydatid in a pseudoaneurysm of the thoracic aorta. A 45-year-old woman presented with gangrenous changes of the toes of her right foot. After embolectomy, the histopathology of the embolus was doubtful about its being blood clots around hydatid membranes. Postoperatively, computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a pseudoaneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta. Definitive surgery for the pseudoaneurysm was done during a second operation. Numerous hydatid cysts were evacuated from the pseudoaneurysm. This report emphasizes the need for an early diagnosis and treatment of echinococcosis before disabling and life-threatening complications occur.

“…The diagnosis should be based on the history of exposure in an endemic area and clinical, laboratory, and MRI findings [16]. Muscular hydatid cysts produce symptoms related to pressure on the surrounding tissues [33][34][35]. Laboratory diagnosis using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), immunoblot and indirect immunofluorescence to detect the antigen and immunocomplexes can assist in the diagnosis of hydatid disease; however, negative serological tests do not rule out the disease.…”

Case report of a primary multiloculate muscular cystic hydatidosis

et al. 2009

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Hydatidosis is a zoonosis caused by the ingestion of Echinococcus granulosus eggs, released though the feces, from infected dogs to humans. Primary localization is mostly hepatic and/or pulmonary, whereas muscular involvement is very rare, even more so in muscular striated tissue. This is the report of a case of a primary intramuscular hydatid cyst in a 79-year-old woman who presented with a 3-year history of a painful lump in her proximal medial left thigh. The authors document the exceptional giant dimensions of the cyst, which have not previously been reported in a case of striated muscular hydatid disease.

Primary Muscular Hydatid Cyst Causing Arterial Insufficiency: Case Report and Literature Review

Abstract: Hydatid disease, though known to occur in most organs and areas of the body, is extremely rare in skeletal muscle. In this article the authors present a case of a primary muscular hydatid cyst, originating from the adductor muscle group, causing obstruction of the femoral artery and vein.
