Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Primary isolated splenic hydatid cysts are extremely rare. Spleen is third most common site of hydatid cyst after liver and lung but it is present usually along with liver and lung. Cystic lesions are rare in spleen. Diagnostic challenge persists in non endemic area. Splenic involvement of hydatid disease occurs after parasite has passed liver and lung filter by arterial route. The retrograde venous route may infect spleen but much less common. Hereby, we present a 35 year female with pain abdomen in right hypochondrium. En-bloc excision of cyst and splenectomy was done. Histopathology report confirmed hydatid cyst of spleen of Echinococcus granulosus origin.
