“…In very rare cases, the larvae can also pass through the venous mesenteric lymph vessels by diffusion to enter the capillary system and systemic circulation. In pulmonary hydatidosis, the larvae can occasionally pass through the lung tissue and, by eroding to chest wall, rib and intercostal wall muscles, settle in ACW tissues [7][8][9][10][11][12] .…”

The most common location of a hydatid cyst (HC) is the liver, followed by the lungs and other organs. Hydatid cysts in the anterior chest wall are an exceedingly rare complication and much rarer if it is associated with liver HC. A 53-year-old man presented to our clinic with a painless anterior chest wall mass (ACWM). Thoraco-abdominal computed tomography revealed simple cystic masses localized in the ACWM in subcutaneous tissue with no invasion of the peripheral soft tissue and no pulmonary or rib involvement. An echinococcal indirect hemagglutination test was negative. Dermoid cyst was considered as a diagnosis and the encapsulated masses were dissected through its plane in peripheral tissue adhesion and removed completely. Macroscopic and microscopic examination of the specimens confirmed hydatid cysts. Further organ evaluation revealed the liver hydatid cyst. The patient was referred for surgery where he underwent laparotomy and drainage of cyst content and capitonaged into peritoneal cavity. This case report demonstrates that hydatid cysts should be considered as a possible cause for palpable lesions in the chest wall, especially in endemic locations.

“…In a previous case, the patient underwent early cystic resection, and albendazole treatment was, then, given for four weeks. [ 6 ] We applied surgical resection to our patient after complication control and after four weeks of albendazole treatment. Following discharge, we applied albendazole treatment for four weeks.…”

Hydatid cysts can be located in any organ or tissue system. Cardiac hydatid cyst is a rare, but fatal pathology. A 21-year-old male Syrian refugee patient with no previous known medical conditions was admitted to the hospital for chest pain and shortness of breath. He had increasing leg pain for 12 hours. Hydatid cyst rupture was detected on echocardiography. The peripheral artery thrombus and hydatid cyst membrane were removed with the embolectomy. The patient had renal and cranial infarctions. He underwent fasciotomy due to compartment syndrome. In conclusion, delayed diagnosis and treatment of cardiac hydatid cysts may result in a poor prognosis associated with the risk of rupture and is responsible for the spread of infection throughout the body as a result of the rupture. Even if there is an early diagnosis, surgical treatment supported by medical treatment is recommended very early.

Although rarely, echinococcosis might present cardiac involvement, with cysts growing inside myocardial structures of arising adjacent to heart. A careful differential diagnosis with other mass formations and rare cardiac tumours is necessary, whenever there is a clinical and radiological suspicion. Imaging studies and serology will establish diagnosis. A multidisciplinary approach is warranted in all cases, with surgical intervention being unavoidable in most settings. Patients generally present with chest pain and dyspnoea. Cases need a close follow up of their postoperative course, while being treated appropriately with albendazole (or mebendazole) for prevention of recurrences.
