Abstract
Background: Cystic echinococcosis mainly affects the liver and lungs, in which the larvae from the microvascular wall in the liver pass to the lungs and then to the blood circulation and settle in any tissue or organ.
Objectives: The objective of this study was to report the unusual location of hydatid cysts in infected patients in Sulaimaniyah City, Iraq.
Patients and methods: This retrospective case series study enrolled 13 patients. They underwent a surgical operation to excise their cyst after confirmed diagnosis with blood investigations, electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, computed tomography scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (when needed). After the operation, the cyst was confirmed with histopathological examination, and patients were advised to take an Albendazole tablet.
Results: Most patients were females from rural areas, with a mean age of 38.93 ± 14.4 years. Patients presented with cysts on the skin of the anterior abdominal wall, gluteal region, mesenteric area, pericardium, tibia bone meta diaphysis, right inguinal region, right thigh, skin of the anterior neck, spleen, left suprarenal gland, right breast, and the iliopsoas muscle.
Conclusions: The hydatid cyst can affect any body part with no site immune and often produces nonspecific symptoms.
背景:囊性棘球蚴病主要影响肝脏和肺部,幼虫从肝脏的微血管壁进入肺部,然后进入血液循环,在任何组织或器官中定居:本研究的目的是报告伊拉克苏莱曼尼亚市感染包虫囊肿患者的异常位置:这项回顾性病例系列研究共纳入 13 名患者。在通过血液检查、心电图、胸部 X 光、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像(必要时)确诊后,他们接受了手术切除囊肿。手术后,对囊肿进行组织病理学检查,并建议患者服用阿苯达唑片:大多数患者为女性,来自农村地区,平均年龄(38.93±14.4)岁。患者的囊肿位于前腹壁皮肤、臀部、肠系膜区、心包、胫骨骨干、右腹股沟区、右大腿、前颈部皮肤、脾脏、左肾上腺、右乳房和髂腰肌:结论:水囊肿可累及身体任何部位,且无部位免疫,通常会产生非特异性症状。
