A rare case of recurrent hydatid cyst of the spleen: A case report
Cystic echinococcosis (CE), or hydatid disease, is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus endemic to areas with considerable pastoral farming and animal husbandry. Typical presentations include hydatid cyst formation in the liver, lungs, brain, kidneys, or bones. An isolated splenic...

description | Cystic echinococcosis (CE), or hydatid disease, is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus endemic to areas with considerable pastoral farming and animal husbandry. Typical presentations include hydatid cyst formation in the liver, lungs, brain, kidneys, or bones. An isolated splenic hydatid cyst is an extremely rare occurrence, accounting for only 0.5%-4% worldwide incidence rates, and recurrent cases are even more infrequent. Globalization, cross-border travel, and altered immigration patterns over time have shifted some of the burden of CE from the developing to the developed world, making the diagnosis challenging for these nonendemic areas. Judicious use of imaging modalities for prompt diagnosis and effective intervention is necessary to treat the initial disease and prevent a recurrence. Herein, we present the case of a 13-year-old male with recurrent isolated splenic hydatid cyst. The patient presented with chronic and nonradiating pain in his left hypochondrium. Physical examination revealed splenomegaly. Ultrasonography showed multiple cysts. Computerized tomography (CT) scan showed cystic lesions in splenic parenchyma with numerous internal enhancing septae. Surgical evacuation was performed for the management of disease. |
