Although it is frequent to see hydatid cyst patients in endemic areas, intrabiliary rupture of hydatid cyst in children is rare. Intrabiliary rupture was first reported in 1928 by Dew (1). Intrabiliary rupture is a serious complication of hepatic hydatid cyst. The incidence varies from 1% to 25% in adult patients (2). Rupture of the hydatid cyst into the bile ducts is a rare condition in childr...

Hydatid cyst, a common disease in the world, is usually transmitted to humans through dog feces. Hydatid cyst is caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Diagnostic interventions for hydatid cyst include physical examination and chest x-ray tomography. Although the treatment options of hydatid cyst vary according to the clinical findings of the patients, the primary treatment may be considered as sur...

Rupture of hydatid liver cyst into biliary tree is frequent complications that involvethe common hepatic duct, lobar biliary branches, the small intrahepatic bile ducts,but rarely rupture into common bile duct. The rupture of hydatid cyst is serious life threating event. The authors are reporting a case of total rupture of hydatid cyst of liver into common bile duct. A 50-year-old male patient ...

An unusual case of saphenous neuropathy secondary to compression by a large hydatid cyst within the adductor longus muscle is reported. Solitary hydatid cyst(s) localized in the skeletal muscles occur rarely and often mimic soft tissue tumours. Presentation with signs of peripheral nerve compression by a hydatid cyst in an extremity is exceedingly rare. Diagnosis can be established by ultrasoun...

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection characterized by cyst formation in any organ, although the liver and lungs are most commonly involved. Hydatid disease of the spleen is uncommon, representing <8% of all human hydatid diseases. Splenic hydatid cysts usually coexist with liver hydatid cysts (secondary form), although the spleen is the primary location (primary form) in some cases. The cli...

Liver abscess is mostly either pyogenic or amebic. Fungal and mycobacterial liver abscesses are rare and mostly associated with immunosuppression. The occurrence of fungal liver abscess with hydatid cyst was never reported previously. This case created diagnostic difficulty, whether we are dealing with liver abscess or hydatid cyst. Sometimes, it may be possible that concurrent occurrence of hy...

Hydatid disease, caused by larval stage of parasite echinococcus, is considerable health problem world wide. Hydatid cyst of infratemporal region is extremely rare, even in endemic areas. A 35 year old woman presented with slowly progressive swelling in infratemporal region. At operation the cystic mass was demonstrated and histopathologic examination confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. A ...

Hydatid cyst disease is endemic in our country. This disease is most commonly detected in the liver and lung, but it can be detected rarely in the soft tissue, muscles and subdermally. In this study, we mentioned a case with subcutaneous hydatid cyst disease without any primary lesion. In this case, a left lumbar subdermal cyst was totally excised and the germinative membrane of the cyst was de...

Echinococcus granulosus infrequently induces spinal hydatid cysts, and intradural hydatid cysts are extremely rare among these spinal hydatid cysts. We report a 30-year-old man with a history of progressive back pain caused by a previous back injury. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a spinal intradural cystic lesion. After surgical removal, histopathological diagnosis was a hydatid cyst. The...

Hydatid disease, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, 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 53 years old woman presented with...
