Splenic hydatidosis, a rare parasitic infection, often presents asymptomatically or with abdominal pain. Early diagnosis using imaging and surgical removal (splenectomy) are key for managing this rare abdominal hydatid cyst manifestation.

Area of Science:

  • Medicine
  • Parasitology
  • Surgical Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Splenic hydatidosis is an uncommon manifestation of echinococcosis.
  • It accounts for 3.5% of abdominal hydatid cysts.
  • The spleen can be the initial or sole site of disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report on surgical management of splenic hydatidosis.
  • To highlight diagnostic methods and complications.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective case series of ten patients.
  • Surgical treatment with splenectomy.
  • Diagnostic imaging: ultrasonography and axial computed tomography (axial C.T.).

Main Results:

  • Six patients were asymptomatic; three presented with pain.

  • Common complications included infection, rupture, and fistulization.
  • All patients underwent splenectomy with no mortality.

    • Conclusions:

    • Splenic hydatidosis is rare but requires systematic investigation.
    • Imaging is crucial for diagnosis.
    • Morbidity is often linked to concurrent hepatic hydatidosis.
