Hydatid cyst liver rupture into the biliary tree may involve the common hepatic duct, lobar biliary branches, the small intrahepatic bile ducts or rarely the gallbladder. Rupture can be occult or frank. A frank intrabiliary rupture of hepatic hydatid cyst is a rare but serious event. The authors are reporting a case of concomitant rupture of hydatid cyst of liver into right hepatic duct and the...

Hydatid cyst is a disease caused by Echinococcus Granulosus and Alveolaris. Often it is localized in the liver and lung. The disease is endemic in Turkey, Mediterranean countries, South Africa, the Middle East, South America and New Zeland [1]. The majority of patients are asymptomatic, with rarely seen signs of cough, dyspnea. Cysts may be symptomatic depending on its size, location and compli...

Encountered throughout the history, the cyst hydatid is a parasitary disease caused by Echinococcus Granulosus. Its prevalence in Turkey is presumed to be around 50 per 100 thousand (1). Cyst hydatid settles in the liver almost at a rate of 60% and about 30% in the lungs. The cysts settling in the lungs are generally solitary and asymptomatic (2). However, it provides findings in some patients ...

hydatid disease, caused by echinococcusgranulosus, is a common parasitic infection of the liver. disseminated intra-abdominal hydatid disease may occur with the rupture of the hydatid cyst into the peritoneal cavity, producing secondary echinococcosis. but primary hydatid cyst in the pelvis is rare. we report a case of bilateral hydatid cyst of the pelvis in a 53years old woman presented with a...

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...

BACKGROUND Hydatid disease is rare in the United States. Rarely the hydatid cyst can become infected with mycotic organisms, such as Aspergillus. We describe a young male who presents with clinical features of suppurative lung abscess whose workup diagnosed hydatid cyst complicated by Aspergillus co-infection. CASE PRESENTATION A 27-year-old Peruvian male was hospitalized because of fever, ch...

OBJECTIVE Surgery and percutaneous aspiration-injection-re-aspiration (PAIR) are widely accepted treatment modalities for hepatic hydatid cysts. Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreaticography (ERCP) acts as a minimally invasive rescue method for the biliary complications of both the hydatid cysts and treatment modalities. The aim of this study was to identify the role of different treatment m...

A cardiac hydatid cyst is rare. We report a case of cardiac hydatid cyst localized in the atria which was diagnosed by two-dimensional echocardiography following a thromboembolic stroke. Surgical resection of the cyst was performed and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis.
