1/14. Nephron-sparing surgery in a case of giant renal hydatid cyst.We report a case of a centrally located giant renal hydatid cyst managed successfully by excision of the cyst alone and preserving the renal parenchyma after clamping the main renal artery. Follow-up IVP showed good function.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/14. Giant intrathoracic extrapulmonary hydatid cyst manifested as unilateral pectus carinatum.liver and lung are the most common sites of hydatid disease, but it can also be seen elsewhere in the body. Extrapulmonary intrathoracic location of the disease is rare. This case of giant intrathoracic extrapulmonary hydatid cyst manifested as unilateral pectus carinatum serves to illustrate that hydatid disease can produce various symptoms and that it may also exist in locations apart from lung and liver.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/14. Giant hydatid cyst in the interventricular septum of a pregnant woman.A 25-year-old woman, pregnant for 38 weeks, was admitted to our clinic with dyspnea. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a large cyst that originated from the left side of the interventricular septum, decreasing left ventricular volume and almost entirely obstructing the left ventricular outflow tract. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging confirmed a grade 1 hydatid cyst, which measured 61 x 59 x 66 mm. The cyst was excised after cesarean section. Extirpation required the creation of a small septal defect, which we closed without a patch, by suturing the septum directly to the left ventricular wall. The patient was discharged without symptoms. The case reported here is of particular interest not only because a hydatid cyst is rarely seen in the interventricular septum, but because a giant hydatid cyst obstructing the left ventricular outflow tract is very rare in pregnancy.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/14. Solitary pericardial hydatid cyst.Hydatid cyst of the heart is an uncommon presentation of human echinococcosis which may lead to life-threatening conditions. diagnosis should be suspected in every case of cyst-like mass in persons coming from areas where echinococcus granulosus is endemic. echocardiography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can help in the differential diagnosis of the lesion. Even if some reports of successful therapy with benzimidazoles have been described, the treatment of choice is the surgical excision of the cyst. pericardiectomy with cyst removal is feasible with low morbidity and mortality rates even in elder patients. The authors describe the successful surgical management of a single giant pericardial hydatid cyst in a 78-year-old woman from North africa.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/14. Primary giant hydatid cyst of the diaphragm.We report a case of an hydatid cyst of diaphragma in a 34-year-old female who was admitted to our clinic for right basithoracic pain. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reported a giant hydatid cyst including multiple vesicles at the right lower thoracic cavity. Surgical exploration revealed an independent giant diaphragmatic hydatid cyst. We performed cystotomy and more than 200 daughter vesicles were removed from the cyst. The rest of the giant cyst cavity was excised.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/14. Giant primary mediastinal hydatid cyst causing Horner's syndrome: report of a case.As the liver and the lungs are the most common sites for hydatid cysts, a primary mediastinal involvement is quite rare. The symptoms related to primary mediastinal hydatid cysts usually depend on the size, location and compression to nearby structures. Presenting a 51-year-old male patient with the symptoms of Horner's syndrome, we draw attention to a rare complication of a giant primary mediastinal hydatid cyst and its challenging management.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/14. Giant renal hydatid cyst resembling a simple cyst: an intraoperative diagnosis.An interesting case of a giant renal hydatid cyst is presented. The big cystic mass detected at ultrasonography (US) and computerized tomography (CT) in a ten-year-old girl looked like a simple cyst. No germinative membrane or any other radiological sign of a hydatid cyst was present. The operation was planned for a simple cyst; but was altered, after an intraoperative diagnostic needle sampling brought out the characteristic fluid of hydatid cyst. We came to the conclusion that hydatid cystic masses may not always present with their characteristic radiological findings; and that extreme caution should be practiced by the radiologist and the surgeon in order to prevent iatrogenic echinococcal dissemination.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |

9/14. A splenic hydatid cyst case presented with lumbar pain.A splenic hydatid cyst is a rare clinical entity from among abdominal hydatid cysts, even in endemic countries. Here, a case with lumbar pain due to a giant splenic hydatid cyst is presented. The importance of this case is that the patient presented at the clinic with only lumbar pain. Initial direct abdominal plain radiography showed a giant abdominal calcification in the spleen and further examinations revealed involvement of three organs: spleen, lung, and liver.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = giant (Clic here for more details about this article) |
