Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology and Parasitology
  • Surgical Pathology

Background:

  • Hydatid cysts, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, are parasitic infections.
  • Intra-abdominal presentation, particularly juxta-splenic, is less common.

Observation:

  • A 40-year-old female presented with a palpable intra-abdominal mass in the left hypochondrium.
  • Clinical suspicion pointed towards a juxta-splenic hydatid cyst.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the mass was performed.
  • Histopathology and cytology of the resected specimen confirmed the diagnosis of a hydatid cyst.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections in the differential diagnosis of intra-abdominal masses.
  • Accurate diagnosis through histopathology is crucial for appropriate management of hydatid disease.
