Hydatidosis, a parasitic infection, rarely affects bones, posing uncertain prognoses due to potential complications. Surgical treatment, similar to malignant tumors, is recommended alongside medical therapy for best outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Parasitology
  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Hydatidosis is a parasitic zoonosis caused by Echinococcus tapeworms.
  • Skeletal involvement is uncommon but associated with poor prognoses and severe complications.
  • Accurate diagnosis and effective treatment strategies are crucial for managing skeletal hydatidosis.

Observation:

  • A case of hip joint echinococcosis mimicking pigmented villonodular synovitis was reported in a 37-year-old male.
  • Clinicoradiographical features initially suggested other conditions, highlighting diagnostic challenges.
  • Biopsy with frozen section analysis confirmed the diagnosis of echinococcosis.

Findings:

  • Skeletal hydatidosis requires a multidisciplinary approach, integrating medical and surgical interventions.

  • Simple curettage is insufficient; radical surgical excision with wide margins, akin to malignancy treatment, is advised.
  • Medical therapy is essential as an adjunct to surgery and for inoperable cases.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering hydatidosis in the differential diagnosis of bone lesions, especially in endemic areas.
    • Staging and aggressive surgical management are vital for improving outcomes in skeletal hydatidosis.
    • Further research into optimal medical and surgical protocols for skeletal hydatidosis is warranted.
