Retrovesical hydatic cyst : About 4 cases

Hydatid disease caused by the tape worm Echinococcus granulosus is a rare occurrence in the urinary system in general. We are hereby presenting a case of a gentleman in his fourth decade with a giant right renal hydatid cyst. The clinical manifestations, radiological features, and serology were all not suggestive of hydatid disease; however, typical Echinococcus scolices were detected histologically following cyst aspiration. The giant cyst was successfully treated laparoscopically.

“…The extra-pulmonary and extrahepatic sites are exceptional and little known. They are therefore described as atypical or unusual by most authors [6][7][8], or even "ectopic" and "aberrant" by some [9].…”

Introduction:The thyroid localization of the hydatid cyst (HC) remains exceptional and unusual even in countries where this Parasitosis is still endemic: its frequency varies from 0.1 to 0.6 ‰ depending on the series. It is most often asymptomatic or resulting in anterior cervical swelling or more rarely a hoarseness of the voice. We report an original observation of thyroid HC revealed by primary hypothyroidism.Observation: An eight-year-old patient with no notable pathological history was explored for normochromic normocytic anemia at 8 g/dl. The clinical examination found neither jaundice nor splenomegaly. There was anterior cervical swelling that was painless and lateralized to the right. No lymphadenopathy or other palpable mass was noted. Biology revealed peripheral hypothyroidism with TSH at 7.83 μIU/ml. The balance of hereditary hemolytic anemias was negative. Cervical ultrasonography and CT showed an anechoic anterior cervical mass 2.51 cm in diameter, occupying the right thyroid lobe, without micro calcifications, intracystic vegetation, or adenopathies. Hydatid serodiagnostic was positive. The diagnosis of thyroid HC was confirmed by histological examination post loboishmectomy. The total blood count and TSH were spontaneously corrected after one month of the surgery. Conclusion:The diagnosis of HC is worthy of mention in the presence of peripheral hypothyroidism with increased thyroid gland volume, especially in endemic areas. This location can sometimes hide associated thyroid neoplasia.

“…It may rupture into the urethra causing hydaturia and stone formation can occur due to urine stagnation in the remaining cystic cavity. Transurethral resection of the prostatic tissue separating the cystic cavity from urethra has been to produce good drainage with potentially no risk for stone recurrence [7,11]. Endoscopic and laparoscopic management of prostatic HC have been reported with application of similar therapeutic principles [107,108].…”

“…Adrenal gland is involved in less than 1% cases. [15,16] Pelvic echinococcosis (PE) is rare, with an incidence of 0.2-2.25% and retrovesical location is even rarer [10,11,[17][18][19]. Bladder, prostate and even testis have been reported as sites for HD.…”
