    This study presents 10 rare cases of hydatid cysts found outside the lungs. One novel case expands understanding of this parasitic infection's unusual presentations.

    Area of Science:

    • Parasitology
    • Medical Case Reports
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Hydatid cysts, caused by Echinococcus tapeworms, typically lodge in the lungs due to the pulmonary sieve effect.
    • Extrapulmonary hydatid disease is less common but can affect various organs.
    • Understanding atypical presentations is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Observation:

    • The study details 10 cases of hydatid cysts located beyond the pulmonary filter.
    • One case represents a previously undescribed clinical presentation.
    • Imaging and clinical data were analyzed for each unusual case.

    Findings:

    • The 10 cases highlight the diverse extrapulmonary locations of hydatid disease.
    • The novel case provides new insights into the potential spread and manifestation of Echinococcosis.

  • The findings underscore the importance of considering hydatid disease in patients with unexplained masses.

    • Implications:

    • This case series broadens the differential diagnosis for extrapulmonary masses.
    • It emphasizes the need for increased awareness among clinicians regarding rare hydatid cyst locations.
    • Further research into the pathogenesis of extrapulmonary Echinococcosis is warranted.
