This case study details a rare instance of recurrent osseous hydatidosis in a Chilean woman. Despite medical and surgical interventions, the parasitic infection persisted, necessitating radical surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus tapeworms.
  • Osseous hydatidosis, affecting bone, is rare and challenging to treat.
  • Recurrence of hydatidosis necessitates careful management strategies.

Observation:

  • A 43-year-old female presented with recurrent right shoulder pain and swelling.
  • Initial diagnosis revealed an osteolytic scapular lesion and soft tissue hydatid cyst.
  • Subsequent recurrence showed extensive bone and muscle involvement with multiple cysts.

Findings:

  • Biopsy confirmed osseous hydatidosis.
  • Initial treatment included cyst extirpation and albendazole.
  • Radiological imaging demonstrated persistent and widespread disease progression.

Implications:

  • Recurrent osseous hydatidosis poses significant treatment challenges.
  • Radical surgery was ultimately required due to disease persistence.
  • This case highlights the importance of long-term monitoring for hydatidosis.
