CONTEXT Primary pancreatic hydatid disease is rare and there have only been a few cases of recurrent acute pancreatitis due to a hydatid cyst of the pancreas. CASE REPORT We describe a case of recurrent acute pancreatitis in which the definitive diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the pancreatic head was only made during a repeat operation and the patient subsequently underwent total pericystectomy....

Hydatid disease is a widespread parasitic infection caused by tapeworm Echinococcus and it affects mainly the liver, but other organs such as pelvic organs could be involved very rare. Here we report a case of hydatid cyst with involvement of oviduct in a woman with endometrial cancer. It was misdiagnosed as a multicystic right ovarian mass before surgery and by microscopic study it was shown a...

Hydatid disease is a common parasitic infestation caused by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus. It is a serious health problem most frequently encountered in rural areas where domestic livestock-raising is common. Complete surgical excision is the gold standard treatment for hydatid cyst. Postoperative medical treatment with antihelminthic drugs (benzimidazole derivatives) are frequently comb...

background: echinococcus granulosus , a zoonotic cestode parasite, causative agent of hydatid cyst is endemic in many parts of the world including the middle east. study on different aspects of this parasite is very important and valuable. however, working with adult worms which their habitat situated in the small intestine of canids, is dangerous and risky. achieving such risky situa­tion need...

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection characterized by cyst formation in any organ, although the liver and lungs are most commonly involved. Splenic hydatid disease is rare, its occurrence even in endemic areas is less than 5% of the total incidence of the echinococcosis. One of the complications of splenic hydatid cysts is cyst rupture either after trauma or spontaneously as a result of inc...

In this study, molecular characterization of Echinococcus granulosus sample obtained from water buffalo originating from southwest of Iran was performed using comparative sequence analysis of cox1 mitochondrial gene. DNA was extracted from protoscoleces removed from hydatid cyst from the liver of a 2-year-old male buffalo slaughtered in Khuzestan province. Molecular and phylog...

Diagnosis of cystic echinococcosis is complex and has to be confirmed by the combination immunological tests imaging techniques. In this study heat shock proteins were induced their immunoreactivity was assessed ELISA. Sera collected from 34 hydatid patients who admitted Rizgary Teaching Hospital through October 2013 July 2017, in addition 29 healthy donors 18 non-hydatid cases. For response, t...

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection that primarily affects the liver but which can be found anywhere in the body. This case involves spontaneous dissemination of hydatid cyst disease, a rare occurrence in the absence of any intervention or trauma.

Background: Hydatid cyst is the larval stage of the tape worm parasite, Echinococcus granulosus. Human is infected by ingestion of parasite ova excreted in dog feces. The anticancer activity of different antigens of hydatid cyst has been reported in the previous works. In this research, the role of immune system in induction of this anticancer activity has been investigated.Materials and Method...
