“…Four species of the genus Echinococcus; E. granulosus, E. multilocularis, E. vogeli, and E. oligarthus are known to cause infections such as cystic hydatid disease, alveolar hydatid disease, and polycystic hydatid disease in human beings (5). Of them, the most common one attacking human beings is E. granulosus (6).…”

Introduction: Hydatid disease, known since Hippocrates' time, is still a serious trouble. Intramuscular hydatid cyst is extremely rare, at less than 1% of all locations. We describe herein a patient with an intramuscular hydatid cyst that has a very low chance of being experienced outside endemic areas by many physicians. Case Report: A 64-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a six-month history of a painless slow-growing mass in his left hemithorax. Upon physical examination, there was a 6 × 4.5-cm, non-tender, mobile, smoothly outlined mass on the left latissimus dorsi muscle. Radiological assessments revealed two cystic pulmonary nodules in the right inferior lobe and no other organ involvement. The patient underwent a two-step surgery. Diagnosis was verified on histopathological examination. After the operation, medical treatment with albendazole (10 mg/kg/day) for three months was prescribed. Conclusion: Hydatid disease can be found in any skeletal muscle or, indeed, anywhere in the body. Due to its rarity and unusual location, diagnosis can be missed easily in a busy and crowded ER. Hydatid disease should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of all soft tissue lesions, even though they located in the muscle, particularly in endemic zones such as Turkey.

“…En bloc resection without rupture or spreading of the daughter cyst is the recommended treatment strategy [ 12 ]. The use of scolicidal agents before the cyst membrane is opened during surgery is recommended to kill daughter vesicles, for preventing the spread of the cyst fluid, which may cause an anaphylactic reaction [ 13 ].…”

Imaging diagnosis of primary pelvic hydatid: a rare case report

2017

Hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus granulosus a commonly encountered parasitic infection to humans in tropical countries. Humans are accidental intermediate hosts of Echinococcus. Liver is the most commonly infected organ. Any organ of the body can be affected but primary pelvic hydatid disease is rarely reported. Preoperative diagnosis can be established by imaging studies such as ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here, a case is reported of pelvic hydatid in a young female who presented with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain along with an abdominal mass. General physical examination and radiological evaluation confirmed a multiloculated cystic lesion in pelvic. Patient was subjected to laparotomy which confirmed the diagnosis of a primary pelvic hydatid disease.
