2/51. Primary posterior chest wall echinococcosis.Hydatid cyst is not mentioned among the chest wall tumours in areas not known to harbour echinococcosis. One of the uncommon sites for echinococcosis even in endemic countries is the chest wall. The striking resemblance between neoplasm and hydatid cysts forms a diagnostic dilemma and makes the correct diagnosis essential before surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.0011790252093182keywords = neoplasm (Clic here for more details about this article) |
3/51. Primary hydatid disease in lumbar muscles.The authors report a case of primary hydatid disease in the lumbar muscles of a 40-year-old male patient. The rarity of this disease in our regions and the low incidence of this location make primary diagnosis difficult. The tumor had been treated elsewhere five years previously by means of simple excision. recurrence of the lesion was diagnosed five years after the first surgery. Wide excision of the cyst and pericyst with a 3.5-cm security margin was performed. Six years after the last surgery, no recurrence has been detected.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = muscle (Clic here for more details about this article) |
4/51. Dumbbell hydatid cyst of the spine: case report and review of the literature.STUDY DESIGN: A case report of a hydatid cyst in the retropleural space at T7-T8 with an extension into the spinal canal through an intervertebral foramen complicated by paraparesis due to thoracic cord compression. OBJECTIVE: To confirm that hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis for any mass discovered in the human body. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Appearance of a dumbbell-shaped mass in the thoracic spine is highly suggestive of neurofibroma. Hydatid cyst, although very rare, may have the same appearance. The spine is involved in 50% of hydatid disease of the bone. A hydatid cyst of the bone and muscle is always primary. Neurologic recovery is possible because it is a slow-growing lesion. METHOD: Clinical symptoms, differential diagnosis, and treatment are reviewed. The patient was treated successfully by total surgical excision of the lesion through a posterior retropleural approach. No medical treatment was prescribed. RESULTS: Surgical excision is effective in the treatment of hydatid disease of the spine, particularly if there is no extensive bony destruction and it is possible to achieve neurologic recovery after decompression of the thoracic spine. CONCLUSION: Extra spinal hydatidosis may lead to spinal cord compression by extension through the intervertebral foramen. The possibility of cure is high when there is no bony involvement.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = muscle (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/51. Musculoskeletal and adipose tissue hydatidosis based on the iatrogenic spreading of cystic fluid during surgery: report of a case.Hydatidosis or echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by echinococcus granulosus or E. multilocularis, which forms cysts in the liver and lung after penetrating the duodenal mucosa and entering the portal circulation. The liver and lung act as a filter but some embryos enter the general circulation and disseminate throughout the body. Musculoskeletal involvement is a rare manifestation of hydatidosis, which is usually reported to affect a single muscle. We report here a rare case of a 68-year-old man with widespread hydatidosis of the retroperitoneum and the subcutaneous adipose tissue, and with multiple muscle involvement in the absence of liver, lung, and spleen involvement. The patient underwent surgical excision of a subcutaneous hydatid cyst 7 years earlier. It is likely that the large dissemination of parasites resulted from accidental rupture of the primary focus during surgery with consequent release and spreading of scolices via lymphatics.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = muscle (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/51. Hydatic cyst located intermuscular area of the forearm: MR imaging findings.Hydatid cyst of the skeletal muscle is rare and can pose various diagnostic problems. The authors report the case of a patient with primary hydatid cysts localized to intermuscular area of the forearm, emphasizing the diagnostic value of MRI. To the best of our knowledge, this localization of the hydatic cyst has not been reported to date.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = muscle (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/51. Primary muscle hydatidosis of the thigh: management of a complicated case with combination adjunctive albendazole and praziquantel chemotherapy.A patient had primary muscle hydatidosis of the thigh that was not detected radiologically or by fine-needle aspiration before surgery. The risk of dissemination during the initial exploratory procedure was high. Treatment consisted of formal muscle resection and combination therapy with albendazole and praziquantel. Clinical features of muscle hydatidosis and the role of adjunctive chemotherapy are reviewed.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = muscle (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/51. Primary intramuscular hydatidosis of supraspinatus muscle.Hydatid disease of the muscle is very rare and represents approximately 3% of all patients with hydatidosis. Since the infection closely resembles a soft-tissue tumor on clinical examination, the preoperative radiologic diagnosis is very important to avoid biopsy. We report an unusual case of primary intramuscular hydatidosis with its magnetic resonance imaging appearance, clinical and pathological findings.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = muscle (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/51. Humeral hydatid cyst complicated with extraosseous involvement: a case of unusual location of echinococcosis.Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease most commonly caused by echinococcus granulosus that seldom involves the skeleton and is still common in the countries of the temperate zones. We present an extremely rare case report of a young patient with humeral hydatid disease complicated with extraosseous involvement. Plain film of the left humerus demonstrated distortion of the axis, regional expansion of the humeral shaft with minimal thinning areas of the cortex. Additionally, numerous radiolucent areas of the humeral shaft were observed especially at the distal part of the bone. No calcification of the soft tissues was noticed. Computed tomography examination showed significant destruction of the trabecular bone of the humeral head and polycystic appearance of the bone marrow with regional calcifications into the lumen. Additionally, a large cystic lesion between medial and lateral head of the triceps muscle with some foci of calcifications were observed. magnetic resonance imaging revealed the multiocular nature of the lesion into the humeral lumen with a cystic lesion involving the soft tissues of the upper arm. The cyst showed contrast enhancement at the pericyst capsule of the cyst after gadolinium-DTPA administration.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = muscle (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/51. Primary echinococcosis of the sternocleidomastoid muscle.Muscular echinococcosis accounts for 0.5% to 5.4% of all hydatid disease cases, with very little data on the incidence of muscular echinococcosis of the head and neck. We report a unique case of primary echinococcosis of the right sternocleidomastoid muscle in a 56-year-old man. Preoperative assessment by ultrasound and fine needle aspiration did not point to echinococcosis. We suspected the right diagnosis intraoperatively and confirmed it postoperatively by pathohistology and serologic tests. echinococcosis of the liver and the lungs was also excluded postoperatively. Combination of operative treatment and postoperative albendazole herapy in two 28-day cycles one month apart resulted in complete regression of the disease. echinococcosis should be considered as differential diagnosis of a multicystic mass in neck, particularly if it is of longstanding duration. serologic tests for echinococcosis should be included in differential diagnostic procedures for each multicystic formation on the neck, especially in endemic areas.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = muscle (Clic here for more details about this article) |
