Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Infectious diseases
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Hydatid cysts are typically found in the liver and lungs, but can occur in bone.
  • Bone hydatid disease is rare and often presents with nonspecific symptoms.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with left lower limb pain, swelling, and inability to bear weight.
  • A tender swelling was noted in the upper and middle tibia.
  • Imaging revealed a lesion consistent with a bone cyst.

Findings:

  • Open biopsy confirmed a hydatid cyst containing Echinococcus granulosus scolices.
  • The cyst had caused a pathologic fracture of the tibia.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering hydatid disease in the differential diagnosis of bone lesions, especially in endemic areas.
  • Combined medical (Albendazole) and surgical (curettage, bone grafting) management can be effective.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent complications like fractures.
