Primary Hydatid Disease of Spleen: - A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 9
Abstract
Primary hydatid disease of the spleen alone is very rare, even though spleen is the third most common organ involved in hydatid disease. The rarity of splenic hydatid disease poses a diagnostic challenge for clinicians, particularly in non-endemic areas. Hydatid cyst can present as a simple cyst without having the classic serological and imaging features, and later can lead to life-threatening complications like anaphylaxis, hydatid disease of spleen should be considered in differential in every patient in endemic areas with cystic lesion of spleen. Hydatid disease, a zoonosis, occurs worldwide but it is endemic in farming and cattle rearing areas. We report a case of histologically confirmed primary hydatid cyst of spleen in a 34 years old male. This case report emphasises that hydatid disease should be considered in the differential diagnoses of all cystic masses in the spleen/ abdomen.
