EVALUATING HYDATID CYST DISEASE OF LIVER BY ULTRASOUND AND CT SCAN

Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 5

Abstract

BACKGROUND Ultrasound helps by detecting lesions, give idea about its internal structure and also give opportunity to evaluate other abdominal organs. However, evaluation by CT scan can give additional information which can modify the course of treatment and prognosis of patient. Hence, characterisation of lesions by CT scan is vital. The aim of this study was to evaluate hydatid cyst disease of liver by USG and CT scan for location, characterisation, age group predominance, sex predominance with demographic and clinical profile in different pathological conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS This descriptive study was done at Radiology Department in CRG Hospital and RD Gardi Medical College from 2015 to 2016. It is a descriptive study. 50 patients were included in the study. Their age and sex were noted. Clinical lab findings were documented. Detailed histopathological examination of liver aspirate material was conducted and diagnosis was confirmed. The diagnosis on histopathology is correlated with USG and CT abdomen findings. RESULT The youngest patient was 14 years old and the oldest was 72 years old. Maximum number of patients were in age group of 31 - 40 years (32%). Minimum number of patients were in age group of 0 - 10 years (0%). Right lobe involvement was seen in 13 (52%) patients, in 10 (40%) patients left lobe involvement was seen and in 2 (8%) patients both the lobes were involved. Pain in the right hypochondrium was the most common presentation with (64%) of cases followed by weakness with (40%) of patients. CONCLUSION Computerised tomography is useful to determine density of a particular lesion. So useful in detection of calcification, haemorrhage, fatty changes clear and purulent fluid. It is also useful in exact determination of the extent of particular lesion and having radiation exposure, so cannot be safely used in pregnant ladies and children or repeated follow-ups. In present study, the most common affected age group was 31 - 60 years to be and followed by (16%) is > 60 years. Male-to-female ratio was suggestive of male predominance (56%). Right lobe are affected most, followed by both lobes and then the left lobe. Pain in right hypochondrium is the most common presentation followed by weakness is the next most common presentation. In liver hydatid ,most common echo pattern is mix echogenic and anechoic, and right lobe is more commonly involved.

BACKGROUND Lung carcinoma is the most common cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Most non-small cell lung carcinomas are inoperable and histologic diagnosis made on small biopsy samples are prone to diagnostic inaccurac...
