Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 10
Abstract
Abstract:Hydatid disease is a zoonotic disease endemic to Mediterranean regions. Liver is the most common site, followed by lung, spleen, and other organs. Peritoneal hydatidosis is rare presentation.We report a case of 37 year old female, presented with pain abdomen since 15 days. On clinical examination, she had hepatomegaly, mild epigastric tenderness and pelvic mass. A diagnosis of liver and peritoneal hydatidosis was established using ultrasonography and CT abdomen. Excision of the liver and peritoneal cyst was done and started on Albendazole for 3 months. Liver hydatid disease constitute the most common presentation, followed by lung and spleen. Primary peritoneal hydatidosis is rare, when compared to secondary peritoneal hydatidosis. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of hydatid disease is possible using modern techniques and prevent complications. High degree of suspicion is needed for cysts in other parts of the body when a patient is diagnosed with liver hydatid disease. Keywords:Case report, Echinococcus, Secondary peritoneal hydatidosis, Liver hydatid, Albendazole.
