Abstract

|
|
ydatid cystic disease is a kind of cestoda infection by the larval form of Echinococcus
from the intestine of dogs. The incidence of hydatid cyst is high in Middle East, Oceanic
area, but still rare in Korea.
We experienced a case with hepatic and pulmonary hydatid cystic disease. The patient
was 50 year-old male, had a history of working in the Saudi arabia and Iraq. His only
complaint was chest discomfort. CT scans of chest and abdoman revealed a large unilocular
cyst in the liver and five cysts in the upper lobe of right lung. Complete resection of pulmary
cysts was done. Percutaneous aspiration with hypertonic sclerosing of hepatic cyst was also
performed. The pathologic findings were the characteristic pattern of brood capsule, scolecies
and hydatid sands of echinococcus in the cysts.
