The case described is of a primary liver cell carcinoma (PLCC), which was initially misdiagnosed as hepatic hydatid disease. The computed tomographic appearances of hepatic hydatid disease are often characteristic although not specific. When supported by the clinical findings, however, they will probably not be confused with other liver masses. In this case the presence of peripheral rim calcif...

Cardiac echinococcosis is extremely rare, and cysts are found mostly within the myocardium. Most cardiac hydatid cysts are located in the left ventricular wall. Only a few cases of isolated pericardial hydatid cysts have been reported. Echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are important diagnostic tools for the diagnosis of echinococcosis. Herein, we report a rare...

Introduction: Hydatid disease caused by the larvae of cestode Echinococcus, occurs worldwide. Although, hydatid can occur at any site, liver (59-75%), lung (27%) and spleen are most commonly affected organs. Clinical suspicion along with radiological findings help in diagnosis hydatid. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) plays an important role for initial diagnosis, while histopathology is ...

2831 Correspondence To the Editor: Hydatid is an endemic zoonosis disease which brings great harm to the human. It is popular in developing countries especially in North Western China where animal husbandry is the primary industry. For liver hydatid, a few cases may be associated with diaphragmatic muscle invasion, and even invasion into the chest and the right lung, which become more difficult...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of 4-weeks rehabilitation, electrotherapy and kinesiotherapy programs on range of motion shoulder pain in men with idiopathic frozen shoulder. methods & materials: this was a semi experimental study on 18 patient (means±sd age 56.4±6.7 year, height 175.1±5.3 cm, weight 73.1±7.5 kg, history patient 9.2±5.1 month) who referred to...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The major complication of hydatid disease of the liver is intrabiliary rupture of the cyst. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the outcome of patients with intrabiliary ruptured hydatid disease of the liver. METHOD Using a standardised data collection instrument, case records of patients who were operated on for hydatid disease of the liver diagnosed between J...

Background: Hydatid cyst is caused by Echinococcus species mainly, E. granulosus and E. multilocularis. In developing countries like India, it is still a major problem. It can involve any organ and can mimic almost any pathological condition. Methods: The present study was carried out from January 2016 to January 2017. A total 6 cases of hydatid cyst operated laproscopically were studied retros...

Hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is endemic in many regions of the world. The major primary site for the disease in adults is the liver and the secondary site are the lungs. Secondary peritoneal cysts are relatively common and expected to occur after rupture of the primary hepatic hydatid cyst. Primary peritoneal hydatid cyst disease without any other organ involvement has been...

Introduction. Hydatid disease is a disease caused by the cestode Echinococcus. Echinococcus granulosus is the most common Echinococcus species affecting human. It may affect any organ and tissue in the body, most in the liver and lung. Disease is endemic in some regions of the world, and is common in Iran. Primary hydatid cyst of the axillary region is an unusual and rare localization of hydati...

Cardiac cystic echinococcosis is a rarely encountered parasitic infestation caused by Echinococcus granulasus larvae. Cystic echinococcosis hydatid composes 0.5-2% of all human cystic echinococcosis cases. Isolated cardiac involvement is very rare. Cardiac cystic echinococcosis hydatid generally accompanies another organ involvement, however, it might be isolated as in the present case and alth...
