SummaryHydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis. It is common in endemic regions and can demonstrate a variety of imaging features that differ according to the affected organ and the stage of the disease. Liver and lungs are the most commonly affected organs. The classic features of hepatic hydatid disease are well known. However, diagnosing hydatid disease at unusual locations may be challenging because of myriad imaging features in each of these locations. Knowledge of the imaging spectrum in systemic hydatidoses in various organs is very valuable in improving the accuracy of radiological interpretation. The purpose of this article is to review the imaging features of hydatid disease at its varied locations.

“…The hydatid cyst of the muscle is an exceptional and rare entity even in endemic countries [3,4]. The rarity of muscle localization can be explained by the presence of hepatic and pulmonary filters which stop the hexacanth embryos from passing into the general circulation [5].…”

“…To our knowledge, a very limited number of cases of hydatid cysts of the adductor magnus muscle have been reported in the literature [8,9]. A less evocative and insidious clinical picture, as well as the absence of pathognomonic signs, can explain the frequency of diagnostic delays [3,10]. Clinically, the primary hydatid cyst of the muscle most often manifests as a tumor gradually increasing in size.…”

“…The dog is like the final host, while humans are only intermediate hosts who become infected following contact with dogs or by ingesting contaminated food [2]. The hydatid cyst of the muscle remains a rare and exceptional entity even in endemic countries, the frequency of which does not exceed 5% [3,4]. We report a case of hydatid cyst localized in the adductor magnus muscle, and discuss the epidemiological and clinical profiles as well as the surgical treatment for this rare entity.…”

Primary Hydatid Disease of the Adductor Magnus. A Rare Location

Cystic echinococcosis is an infectious disease secondary to the contamination by Echinococcus granulosus. Muscle localization is very rare, and is characterized by atypical clinical presentation and the absence of pathognomonic signs, leading to diagnosis delays. MRI is the method of choice for diagnosis of soft tissue hydatid cysts, and surgery remains the main curative treatment. We report a case of hydatid cyst of the adductor magnus muscle in a 24-year-old young man, along with a literature review.

“…[2] The liver (75%) and lungs (15%) are the most commonly affected organs [3,4] as they filter blood, preventing the parasite from entering the systemic circulation. [5] The musculoskeletal system is less often affected with prevalence ranging from 0.7-3 % [6,7] to 7.2 %. [8] This is due to high levels of lactic acid which creates a hostile environment for the parasite to survive.…”

Echinococcosis (hydatidosis) remains a crucial public health concern in areas of endemicity including South Sudan. It affects mostly liver and lungs but rarely musculoskeletal system. A female, aged 75 years, presented to Kapoeta State Hospital, with a three years’ history of a painless mass on her back, gradual onset. There was no history of trauma, pain or fever. On examination there was a mass of 8cm x 5cm, soft, non-tender and lobulated on the right lower back above the gluteal region with intact skin. Imaging investigations (ultrasound, X-ray, CT scan) were not available. A provisional diagnosis of a lipoma was made. Surgery was done successfully and a hydatid cyst was found and removed. There were no post-operative complications. She was discharged on the next day with oral albendazole (400mg), twice a day for 28 days. Six months later, the patient was seen with no complains or recurrence. In endemic areas hydatid cysts should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any cystic swelling or lump. In low resource countries, incorporation of health education to school curriculum will play a key role in reducing incidence or prevalence of the disease.
