“…Primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst without other organ involvement was first reported by Lockhart J and Sapinza VC in 1958 12. In 1973 Mukherjee et al 13 reported nine cases, two had died due to anaphylactic reaction resulting from spillage during excision or biopsy done with the misdiagnosis of a retroperitoneal tumour. Preoperative diagnosis of retroperitoneal hydatid disease is difficult.…”

A 74-year-old man was admitted with right flank pain and discomfort lasting for 2 months. CT scanning revealed a large retroperitoneal cystic mass. There were no cysts elsewhere. Serological testing revealed hydatid disease. Preoperatively he was treated by Albendazole 400 mg for 1 month and then underwent laparotomy. The entire mass was excised en bloc and intact and right hemicolectomy was simultaneously performed for excision of the adhered ascending colon. He recovered uneventfully and was discharged on the eighth day, Albendazole was given and follow-up visits were arranged for every 6 months. Total cystectomy in case of active echinococcal cysts remains the treatment of choice. BACKGROUND

“…Primary retroperitoneal hydatid cysts without other organ involvement was first reported by Lockhart and Sapinza in 1958 and are rare entities. [2][3][4]6 Various modes of spread have been suggested to explain the escape of liver and lung involvement-via lymphatics 7 or via veno-venous shunts within the liver. 7,8 Airborne transmission and direct implantation of the embryo in the bronchial mucosa is also considered as one of the modes of transmission.…”

Primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst: a rare case with atypical presentation

Primary Retroperitoneal Hydatid Cyst is a rare presentation of a disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Any organ of the body could be affected by the disease, although there are only a limited number of cases where the primary lesion is in the retroperitoneum. A definitive diagnosis requires a combination of imaging, serologic and immunologic tests. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are highly accurate in detecting a hydatid cyst. Diagnosis of retroperitoneal hydatid cysts remain difficult as the clinical and laboratory findings are usually nonspecific. We report a case of a 47-year-old male who had an incidental finding of a retroperitoneal mass behind the left kidney. The CT scan of abdomen was suggestive of Retroperitoneal Hydatid Cyst. Patient underwent marsupialisation of cyst. Histopathological Report was suggestive of Hydatid Cyst.

“…3 Other rare sites include the omentum, ovaries, parametrium, pelvis, 4,5 thyroid, orbit or retroperitoneum. 6 In man, infection is usually acquired in childhood. The symptoms present several years after exposure and it may take five to 20 years before a diagnosis is made.…”

A primary hydatid cyst in the pelvis is rare, and usually presents with pressure symptoms affecting the adjacent abdominal organs. We describe such a cyst which protruded through the sciatic notch and presented as a gluteal swelling with a foot drop due to compression of the lumbosacral nerve roots. Surgical excision and postoperative treatment with albendazole for six weeks were effective in controlling the disease and preventing recurrence.J Bone Joint Surg [Br] 1998;80-B:1037-9. Received 2 February 1998 Accepted 6 May 1998 Hydatid disease is widely prevalent and is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. It is transmitted by the ingestion of eggs and commonly involves the liver (80%) and lung (15%) although any part of the body may be affected. We describe a case of a primary intrapelvic hydatid cyst presenting with a foot drop. So far all previous cases which have been described with a neurological deficit have been cysts of the vertebral column compressing the spinal cord or the cauda equina. Case reportA 24-year-old woman presented with a painless swelling over the right gluteal region, which had progressively increased in size over six months. Numbness and weakness involving the right leg had been present for four days. There was no associated fever, loss of appetite, backache or history of tuberculosis. Local examination showed a cystic, non-tender swelling of about 4 cm in diameter in the right gluteal region, lying deep to gluteus maximus, and which was palpable in the right fornix on vaginal examination. A fluid thrill was present between the two sites. No swelling or mass could be felt in the abdomen and there was no spinal tenderness or deformity. Neurological examination showed weakness of the hip extensors and abductors (2/5), the hamstrings (2/5), and the muscles of the ankle and foot (0/5) on the right side as measured on the MRC scale. There was diminished sensation in the distribution of the L5, S1 and S2 roots on the affected side along with perianal anaesthesia.The clinical diagnosis was that of a benign tumour. Possibilities considered were a cystic neuroma arising from the sciatic nerve or the lumbosacral plexus, a sacral teratoma, or a hydatid cyst compressing the lumbosacral roots. The plain radiograph did not show any abnormality except for doubtful enlargement of the right sciatic notch. Ultrasonography of the abdomen revealed a large (10.7 ‫ן‬ 5.6 cm) hypoechoic mass with echogenic septations in the presacral area posterolateral to the uterus and extending into the right gluteal region. Both kidneys and the urinary bladder appeared normal. MRI revealed a large cystic mass in the right pelvis, with well-defined walls, situated posterior to the bladder and extending to the gluteal region through the greater sciatic notch (Fig. 1a). Aspiration of the swelling yielded approximately 15 ml of clear to straw-coloured fluid. Smear and cytospin preparation from the fluid showed acellular material with no evidence of any atypical cells or parasites. No acid-fast bacilli could be visualised in th...

Primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst

Abstract: A case of a primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst in an Indian adult which was treated by marsupialization is described. Attention is drawn to the rarity of the lesion, the probable mode of spread, and the difficulties encountered in its diagnosis.
