Chest wall hydatid cysts are rare. Surgical treatment for six patients between 1989-1991 showed no mortality or recurrence, with cystectomy being the most common procedure.

Area of Science:

  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Parasitology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Hydatid cysts, caused by Echinococcus granulosus, typically affect the liver and lungs.
  • Chest wall involvement is an infrequent presentation of echinococcosis.

Observation:

  • This study reports on six patients surgically treated for chest wall hydatid cysts between 1989 and 1991.
  • Two patients presented with primary chest wall echinococcosis, while four had secondary involvement following prior surgery for hepatic or pulmonary hydatidosis.

Findings:

  • Surgical interventions included cystectomy (4 patients), cystotomy with evacuation (1 patient), and chest wall resection (1 patient).
  • No operative mortality was observed.
  • Mean follow-up of 26 months revealed no instances of recurrence.

Implications:

  • Surgical management of chest wall hydatid cysts can be effective with favorable outcomes.
  • Complete excision (cystectomy) appears to be a successful approach, minimizing recurrence risk.
  • Highlights the importance of considering echinococcosis in chest wall masses, even in atypical locations.
