Primary Retroperitoneal Hydatid Cyst with Unusual Clinical Manifestation

Abstract: Although hydatid disease may affect any organ of the body, there are only a limited number of cases where the primary lesion is in the retroperitoneal region. Since the clinical and laboratory findings are nonspecific, the correct preoperative diagnosis may be difficult. A primary retroperitoneal hydatid cyst that was given a preoperative diagnosis of adrenal mass and treated by adrenalectomy and partial nephrectomy is presented and discussed with the relevant literature.

“…The current case is supported by other reports. [ 2 , 8 – 13 ] Gurdal et al [ 8 ] described a 48-year old woman presenting with a 3-month history of right flank pain, but otherwise without remarkable symptoms. However, by abdominal-pelvic ultrasonography (USG), a solid mass of 60 mm with regular borders and evidence of calcification was discovered in the right suprarenal region.…”

“…However, by abdominal-pelvic ultrasonography (USG), a solid mass of 60 mm with regular borders and evidence of calcification was discovered in the right suprarenal region. [ 8 ] By abdominal contrast CT, a 60 × 40 mm solid mass was seen with egg shell calcification of the soft tissue mass. Exploratory surgery revealed a solid immobile mass, which was suprarenally positioned and resected with a segment of the apical pole of the right kidney.…”

“…In most common cases, physical examination reveals a firm abdominal mass, rarely responsible for compression syndrome [3] [4]. Clinical and laboratory findings not providing sufficient specificity, it may be difficult to make a preoperative diagnosis [5].…”

“…Dans notre cas, cette option n'était pas réalisable vu l'existence d'autres localisations hépatiques. Le choix de la technique la plus appropriée dépend du patient (âge, comorbidités, préférence individuelle), des caractéristiques du kyste (nombre de kystes, taille, éventuelles complications) et de l'opérateur [10,11]. Le traitement chirurgical a trois objectifs : traiter la maladie hydatique et traiter d'éventuelles complications, notamment l'existence d'une fistule canalaire.…”

“…Ce traitement médical doit être continué au moins pendant un mois en postopératoire au prix d'une éventuelle toxicité hépatique [5,9,12]. Il faut insister sur la surveillance clinique, immunologique, radiologique et échographique régulière pendant plusieurs années pour dépister précoce-ment toute récidive ou apparition secondaire d'autres localisations [11,13]. La prévention de l'échinococcose hydatique repose sur des mesures hygiénodiététiques et sur la réduction des contacts directs avec les chiens [3,12,14], ainsi que sur l'interdiction de l'abattage des ovins hors de structures appropriées.…”
