Relapsed hydatid cysts originating in the abdomen are rare. This case study details the successful surgical removal of over 1000 hydatid cysts from a patient with abdominal hydatidosis.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Parasitology
  • Surgery

Background:

  • Hydatid cysts typically affect pulmonary sites, with extrapulmonary occurrences being infrequent.
  • Abdominal hydatidosis, particularly relapsed cases, presents unique clinical challenges.
  • Literature reports on extrapulmonary hydatid cysts are scarce.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a rare case of relapsed abdominal hydatidosis.
  • To highlight the surgical management of extensive hydatid cyst burden.
  • To contribute to the limited literature on extrapulmonary hydatid disease.

Main Methods:

  • A 25-year-old female patient presented with symptoms suggestive of relapsed hydatidosis.
  • Diagnostic imaging confirmed multiple abdominal hydatid cysts.

  • Surgical intervention involved right posterolateral thoracotomy for cyst removal.

    • Main Results:

    • Over 1000 hydatid cysts were successfully removed from the abdominal cavity.
    • The surgical procedure was performed without any reported complications.
    • The patient experienced a favorable outcome post-surgery.

    Conclusions:

    • Extrapulmonary hydatid cysts, even in large numbers, can be managed surgically.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering hydatidosis in extrapulmonary locations.
    • Aggressive surgical management can lead to successful outcomes in complex hydatid cyst cases.
