Abstract:
Hydatid cyst (hydatidosis or echinococcosis) is an endemic zoonosis caused by ingestion of Echinococcus eggs. This disease is localized to the liver, but can be found elsewhere. It may be asymptomatic or present with compression discomfort or anaphylactic shock due to cyst rupture. The disease can recur. The diagnosis is made by the symptoms and imaging findings. Serological tests are sometimes done. The diagnosis is confirmed with direct observation of the parasite. Treatment is a combination of anthelmintic with minimally invasive or surgical drainage. This report is from a patient with recurrent hydatid cysts in the abdomen.
