Introduction Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococci. The most commonly affected organ is liver, followed by lungs. Hydatid disease of the chest wall is extremely rare. The aim of this study is to report a case of chest wall Hydatid cyst with literature review. A 20-year-old pregnant lady presented with left hypochondrial and lower chest painful swelling. There was 10 × 15 cen...

Primary hydatid disease of the skeletal muscle without systemic involvement is rare. A 40-year-old woman presented with a painful mass in her medial left upper thigh. She was misdiagnosed as having a deep intramuscular abscess and a fine needle aspiration was performed, but the fluid came out crystal clear. Further inquiry revealed that her 16-year-old daughter had been operated on twice for li...

Hydatid cyst or Echinococcosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by tapeworm that occurs primarily in sheep grazing areas, but it is common worldwide because dog is a definitive host. It has serious impact on health and economy in the endemic countries. Hydatid disease is most frequently caused by E. granulosus and commonly affected organs are liver and lung. It is a chronic disease and cy...

Osseous hydatid disease is a rare but serious condition. Treatment is difficult because of the progressive course of the bone involvement and generally admitted algorithm about osseous hydatid disease. We report a sixyear follow-up of a case with involvement of the left femur, treated with an unconnected surgical method and albendazole. In this patient a 1 cm segment of the cortex between the t...

BACKGROUND Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by infection with the Echinococcus granulosus tapeworm larva. It is a major public health problem in endemic regions. Cardiac involvement of the disease is rare. METHODS Between 1985 and 2015, 12 patients were admitted to our clinic with a possible diagnosis of cardiac hydatid disease. Of these patients, six (50%) were male and six (50%) w...

The incidence of hydatid disease varies considerably in different parts of the world. It is common in South America, Australia and parts of Asia; for example, in Beirut, Syria, 0 75o% of hospital admissions over a 10-year period were patients with echinococcus cysts (Baurys, 1952). In Great Britain there are no figures of value about the incidence of hydatid disease because there is no proper s...

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.

OBJECTIVE To determine the outcome of laparoscopic management of hepatic hydatid disease in terms of complications. STUDY DESIGN Case series. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Surgical C Unit, Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar, from February 2007 to March 2010. METHODOLOGY All patients with 3 or less hepatic hydatid cysts who underwent laparoscopic treatment for hepatic hydatid cyst disease we...

Primary isolated omental hydatid cysts are extremely rare. Usually, omental hydatid cysts are secondary, either resulting from spontaneous spread of cysts or occurring after operations involving hydatidosis in other regions. Here, we report a case of a primary isolated omental hydatid cyst treated with a laparoscopic approach. We report a 16-year-old female who admitted to hospital with right u...
