Primary infected hydatid cyst of the thigh in a young lady; case report with literature review
Annals of medicine and surgery, 2019
Hydatid disease present in certain parts of the world. Infection of the musculoskeletal system occur in less than 0.5%. A 24-year-old lady had a painful mass in the inner aspect of the right thigh. MRI of the thigh showed a mixed signal intensity lesion measured about 65*100 mm, the mass was related to the muscle and the superficial femoral artery and its cavity had multiple septations. During surgery an infected hydatid cyst of the muscle was found, evacuation was done with removal of the cyst. The patient was discharged next day and she received anthelminthic medications for 3 months. Hydatid cyst of the muscles present with gradually enlarging mass or complications such as nerve compression, infection or rupture. Treatment may be medical using anthelminthic medications. Complete surgical excision is the best surgical option; involvement of other organs should be excluded. Follow-up is recommended.
Primary hydatid cyst in the medial thigh
Joint Diseases and Related Surgery Case Reports
Joint Diseases and Related Surgery Case Reports The human body is an intermediate host for Echinococcus granulosus (E. granulosus), which is the most common cause of hydatid disease. This type of parasite mostly affects the liver and lungs. Primary involvement of subcutaneous tissue is extremely rare. A 51-year-old female presented with the complaint of swelling on the upper medial right thigh. On ultrasonography, a cystic lesion with thick walls, approximately 50¥90 mm in size, was observed approximately 8.5 mm from the skin within the muscle planes in the medial section of the right thigh. Entry was made over the mass from the medial thigh and the mass was totally excised. The histopathological diagnosis was confirmed as hydatid cyst. No pathological findings consistent with hydatid cyst were determined in the liver or other systems. In particular, in areas of endemic hydatid disease, it must be kept in mind that these types of atypical localizations, other than in the liver and lungs, can be encountered in many different anatomic regions.
Invasion of the innominate vein by a hydatid cyst
Clinical Radiology, 2011
Hydatid cystic disease is a parasitosis caused by Echinococcus granulosus larvae. The hydatid cyst has a predilection to locate in the liver and lungs. Although many uncommon locations have been reported and the disease is rarely present in the mediastinum. The present report describes a case of hydatic cyst localized simultaneously in the anterior mediastinum and bilateral pulmonary arteries, which was thought to originate from innominate vein echinococcal invasion. However, multiple hydatid cyst focuses were also seen in bilateral lung parenchyma.
Hydatid disease of the musculoskeletal system
Surgery, 1998
HYDATID DISEASE IS ENDEMIC IN developing countries, Eastern Europe, and Australia. However, with increased international travel, hydatid disease can appear in any part of the world; it is therefore essential that surgeons have a good knowledge of this disease. 1 The pathogenesis of primary extrahepatic hydatid disease remains poorly understood. Migration of the embryos to the systemic circulation may be through the portosystemic connections, the lymphatics, or escaping the liver filter. 2 From the systemic circulation they can then infect any organ in the body. METHODS The records of 6 patients with primary hydatid disease of muscle, bone, or both were reviewed retrospectively between 1988 and 1992. Neither the liver nor other organs were involved. The clinical and radiologic findings are summarized in Figs 1 through 5 and the diagnosis and treatment in Table I. In muscular involvement the cysts were solitary, unilocular, and multilocular with very well-formed adventitia, whereas the bone cysts were multiple and without detectable adventitia. This was observed most clearly in case 5, with involvement of both muscle and bone, where adventitia was absent over the iliac bone. The preoperative diagnosis of hydatid disease was not considered in 3 cases. Results of indirect hemagglutination tests either before operation or during the immediate postoperative period were diagnostic except in the orbital cyst. Complete excision of the cyst from the left flank and left iliac fossa was performed, with excellent results. Hydatid cystectomy was performed in the groin and orbital cysts, and both patients were given mebendazole, 25 mg/kg, for 6 months. RESULTS The results were satisfactory. Bone excision and grafting can offer complete cure because of completeness of removal of cysts. The drop in indirect hemagglutination levels was very slow but consistent; a result at and below 1/200 is considered negative. After a period of more than 5 years of followup, all the clinical, radiologic, and serologic criteria are suggestive of complete cure.
Primary hydatid cyst of the thigh: a case report of an unusual localization
2006
Human hydatid disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus is of worldwide importance and presents medical, veterinary and economic problems in developing countries. In humans, the infestation is usually located in the liver (65%) or lungs (25%), and rarely involves the brain, heart, bone, or other organs 1 . Primary muscular hydatid cysts comprise less than 0.5% of the cases in endemic
The Korean Journal of Parasitology, 2017
Hydatid cyst is usually located in the liver and lungs, rare cases showing localization in other organs or tissues. In the unusual location, echinococcosis is an excluding diagnosis that is established only after microscopic evaluation. Our first case occurred in a 67-year-old female previously diagnosed with pulmonary tuberculosis and hospitalized with persistent pain in the hip joint. The clinical diagnosis was tuberculosis of the joint, but the presence of the specific acellular membrane indicated a hydatid cyst of the synovial membrane, without bone involvement. Fewer than 25 cases of joint hydatidosis have been reported in literature to date. In the second case, the intramural hydatid cyst was incidentally discovered at autopsy, in the left heart ventricle of a 52-year-old male hospitalized for a fatal brain hemorrhage, as a result of rupture of an anterior communicating artery aneurysm. The conclusion of our paper is that echinococcosis should be taken into account for the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions, independently from their location.
Primary Intraosseous Hydatid Cyst of Femur
Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal, 2015
Introduction: Echinococcosis is a parasitic and zoonotic disease of animals and humans. The cause is Echinococcus granulosus and occasionally, Echinococcus multilocularis. Hydatid cysts are mostly seen in the liver and lungs, although almost all organs and systemscan be involvement. Hydatid cysts seen with bone involvement comprise approximately 3% of all hydatid cysts. Even if a long period of survey is possible, it is still difficult to eradicate the disease and effect a cure. Case Presentation: In this study, an evaluation was made of a patient referred at Yozgat State Hospital Orthopedics and Traumatology Polyclinic with complaints of pain in her left thigh close to the knee. After examinations of plain radiographs, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance images, and blood parameters, a diagnosis was made of left femoral intramedullary hydatid cyst from excised intraoperative material. Throughout a 6-month follow-up period, there was no recurrence and functional results were good. Conclusions: Based on this report (of a patient presented with an intramedullary cyst in the long bones), the primary bone hydatid cyst disease should be kept in mind and be investigated in the differential diagnosis.
Primary Hydatid Cyst and Isolated from the Thigh: An Exceptional Localization
Muscular involvement with Echinococcusgranulosus is rare, even in endemic countries where the frequency is estimated to be less than 3%, particularly in the countries of the Mediterranean basin, North Africa and Latin America. We report the rare observation of a hydatid cyst of the internal thigh room in a 57-year-old patient of rural origin and who has no notable sickness antecedents and was hospitalized in our department for the exploration of a tumefaction of the internal surface of the left thigh appeared gradually and insidiously for 3 years. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed an oval mass evoking an intramuscular hydatid cyst and its relationship to neighboring structures. He underwent surgical excision under locoregional anesthesia. Solitary hydatid localization in muscle tissue is exceptional, but it is useful to know that its diagnosis is often delayed, its treatment is surgical, but recurrences are possible.
Primary Hydatid Cyst: An Unusual Cause Of A Mass In The Thigh
2017
Hydatid disease is an endemic zoonotic infection that commonly affects the liver and the lung and rarely involves skeletal muscle of the upper and lower limbs. We report a rare case of a 45-year-old female presented with a hydatid cyst in the thigh, the diagnosis of presumption was made by ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging, and the lesion was removed surgically without recurrence at six months of follow-up. This uncommon affection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of lower limb cystic mass, especially when it occurs in endemic countries.
