Introduction: Hydatid disease caused by larval stage of Echinococcus has been recognized endemically in many countries. Liver and lungs are the most commonly affected organs. Involvement of the head and neck region is rare and bony erosion due to hydatidosis is even rarer. Case Report: We report a case of a 17-year-old girl from a poor socio-economic background who presented with a right side...

Hydatid disease is an endemic illness in some countries. The main sites of involvement are the liver and lungs, but rarely, it can be seen in other organs as well. Herein, we report a case of primary adrenal hydatid cyst accompanied by arterial hypertension.

UNLABELLED Involvement of the kidney is a rare clinical scenario seen in case of Echinococcus infection, with isolated involvement of the kidney being even rarer. Patient may be asymptomatic or present with symptoms of lumbar region pain, haematuria, and hydatiduria. We present a rare case of primary right renal hydatid cyst with presenting features of right lumbar pain. KEY WORDS renal, hyda...

Primary echinococcosis of the heart is exceptionally uncommon and is reported 0.5% to 2% of all hydatid cyst sites in comparison with liver (70%) or lung (20%) involvement. Hydatid disease of the heart is caused by the cestode tapeworm echinococcosis granulosis or alveolaris. We present a 29-year-old female with hydatid disease of the liver and heart. She only complained of abdominal pain and p...

Palisading granulomatous reactions are prominent microscopic characteristics that are seen in many diseases. Isolated subcutaneous cystic echinococcosis is rarely documented. Palisading granuloma as a host immune reaction to Echinococcus granulosus in an isolated primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst has been reported only once before. In this report, we are describing a 53-year-old male who develo...

We report a very rare case of primary mediastinal hydatid cyst which invaded the ascending aorta and the aortic arch which initially presented as a cranial mass. Aortic wall is a very unusual site for the hydatid cysts. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of hydatid cyst located within the aortic arch lumen. Patient underwent ascending aortic and hemiarch replacement u...

Echinococcosis, although eradicated in many countries, is still widespread in communities where agriculture is dominant. Cystic hydatidosis is a significant public health problem in the regions with endemic echinococcosis. The hydatid cysts tend to form in the liver or lung, but may also be found in other organs of the body such as brain, heart, and bone, while thyroid gland involvement is rath...

Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease endemic in Romania which occurs frequently in liver and lungs, but it can also be present in almost any part of the body. We present the rare case of a 37-year-old male which was admitted in our service with a large hydatid cyst at the level of the right thoracic outlet and we were not able initially to establish its exact origin, liver or right lung. Afte...

Echinococcus multilocularis (EM) is caused by the larval stage of the tapeworm. The main endemic regions for human alveolar echinococcosis are Central Europe, Russia, Turkey, Japan, China, Eastern France, North America. EM is an endemic disease in Turkey and especially common in the eastern Anatolia Region as seen in our case. The liver is the primary focus of the disease, cerebral localization...
