Retroperitoneal Hydatid cyst
Journal Title: Perspectives In Medical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Hepatic cysts are a diverse group of lesions ranging from developmental infection to neoplastic in etiology. Hydatid infection with E.granulosis is a major public health problem & a common cause of cystic lesions of liver. Human infection occurs following oral ingestion of cestode eggs. Advances in abdominal imaging have led to increasing incidental diagnosis of asymptomatic cysts, diagnosis prompts therapy to halt the progression of infection & to prevent complications. Retroperitoneal hydatid cysts are extremely rare, we here present a case of retroperitoneal hydatid cyst presented with a vague abdominal discomfort. Diagnosis was made on Radiological imaging & Serological tests.
