Background: Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a parasitic infection that is caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus. CE is very common, especially in the rural areas of developing countries. The most commonly affected organs by hydatid cysts are the liver and the lungs. However, the primary splenic hydatid cyst (PSHC) is a very rare manifestation of CE with an incidence of 0.5–8%. Case presentation: A 17-year-old female patient presented with abdominal pain which gradually increased over months, along with anorexia and vomiting. Computerized tomography showed a massive splenic cystic mass. An open total splenectomy was performed. By follow-up, the platelet count and a postoperative chest X-ray were normal. The patient was prescribed Albendazole and analgesics. The pathological study confirmed the diagnosis of PSHC. Conclusion: Despite the occurrence of PSHC being very rare, it is very important to take it into consideration, especially in endemic areas.

“…The prevalence of SHC is about 2.5–5% 3 , with an incidence of 0.5–4% 4 . The occurrence ranges between 0.9 and 8 7 , and between 0.5–8% of all hydatidosis 6 . There are many mechanisms to explain splenic involvement.…”

“…The treatment of hydatid spleen cysts remains primarily surgical [ 5 , 16 ]. The therapeutic modalities vary between total splenectomy allowing a radical treatment of the parasite and spleen-saving methods including deroofing with omentoplasty, pericystectomy, partial splenectomy, and internal cysto-jejunal anastomosis [ 3 , 12 ].…”

Primitive isolated hydatid cyst of the spleen: total splenectomy versus spleen saving surgical modalities

et al. 2021

Background This study aims to describe the clinical features of the isolated primitive splenic hydatid cyst, discuss and compare the different surgical approaches of this uncommon disease. Methods This is a descriptive retrospective study carried out over a period of 7 years extending from January 2013 to December 2019 reporting eight cases of isolated primitive splenic hydatid cysts. Data were collected from the register of the general surgery department of the Jendouba regional hospital. Files concerning another associated hydatid localization were excluded. Four patients underwent total splenectomy and four of them underwent different spleen preserving surgical techniques including resection of the protruding dome, partial splenectomy and pericystectomy. Results The diagnosis was incidentally made in 50% of cases. The main other revealing complaints are pain in the left upper quadrant of abdomen in 25% of cases and a painless renitent mass in the same quadrant in only 12,5%. None of patients who underwent total splenectomy had fever or sings of postoperative sepsis. Compared to those who had total splenectomy, patients who underwent spleen preserving surgery had a longer average hospital stay (9 vs 6,25 days) related to post-operative complications including abscess in the residual cavity after protruding dome resection in one patient and post-operative haemorrhage in one patient. Conclusions The current case series argues in favor of total splenectomy, preferably by laparoscopic route whenever the technical platform allows it, associated with some specific peri-operative therapeutic measures. It seems to be the safest way that helps to avoid post-operative complications of spleen saving surgical modalities. These complications are usually difficult to manage in poor countries with limited technical resources. Total splenectomy guarantees at least a decreased hospital stay, reduced healthcare costs, and the absence of recurrence in highly endemic underdeveloped countries.
