Abstract
Objective: Retrospective evaluation of 28 cases, diagnosed as hydatid cyst pathologically in our centre pathology laboratory, from surgical departments was the objective of the study. Methods: 28 cases diagnosed as hydatid cyst in our hospital have been reviewed retrospectively and patients’ age, gender and localizations of disease have been determined. Results: Based on histopathologic evaluation hydatid cyst cases were localized mostly on liver 19 (68%), followed by lung 7 (24%), glutea 1 (3.5%) and axilla 1 (3.5%). 15 (54%) of the patients were male and 13 (46%) were female. The age range of the cases were 7-73, while the median age of males were 30.2±19.5 years, the median age of females were 35.9±19.2. Necrosis has been determined in 2 (7.1%) of cases in pathologic evaluation of hydatid cyst. Conclusion: The pathologic evaluation of all cystic surgical specimens should include the careful examination of the elements of this parasite especially where hydatid cyst is endemic. Key words; Hydatid cyst, pathologic findings, echinococcosis
