RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hydatid disease (HD) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by the larvae of Echinococcus, It is mainly prevalent in pastoral areas. Bone echinococcosis is rare, accounting for 0.5 to 4.0% of all echinococcosis. It is likely to miss the diagnosis and misdiagnose due to non-specific early symptoms and the clinical manifestations and imaging features. The clinical data of 15 patients with pelvic cystic echinococcosis were analyzed retrospectively, and the X-ray, CT, and MRI imaging features of the disease were discussed, which are reported below. METHODS: All 15 patients underwent CT scan evaluation. A total of 8 patients underwent coronal, sagittal, and three-dimensional reconstruction with 3-mm-slice thickness, and 4 patients underwent X-ray plain film examination. Five cases underwent MRI scan. Eight cases underwent MRI or CT enhanced scan. RESULTS: X-ray plain film is characterized by continuous cystic bone destruction, irregular low-density shadow when invading soft tissue, and sometimes calcification which can be seen on the wall or inside the cyst. The involved sacroiliac joint or hip joint may narrow or disappear. The involvement of pelvic cystic echinococcosis is relatively wide, and 80% of patients with pelvic cysts in this group had multiple lesions in the same period. Cystic expansive bone destruction was the most common. Pelvic CT revealed a lobulated hypodense lesion of varying size with internal septae, causing cortical thinning and destruction. Most of them had no periosteal reaction. The iliopsoas muscle is most easily invaded. Single cystic echinococcosis of pelvis showed intermediate or low signal intensity on T1-weighted images and hyperintensity on T2-weighted images in the involved bone and surrounding soft tissue on MRI, and the cyst wall showed linear low signal in T1WI, T2WI, and STIR sequences. The polycystic type is characterized by multiple cysts of varying signal intensity (daughter cysts) within a larger cyst is the typical MRI finding, forming "small vesicles" high signal daughter cysts. Osteosclerosis or calcification showed low signal in T1WI and T2WI. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study suggest that the lesions of pelvic cystic echinococcosis are mostly cystic expansive and osteolytic bone destruction, which is easy to invade the surrounding soft tissue, often accompanied with calcification; among them, multiple cystic lesions are characteristic.

RESUMO

Hydatid disease of long bone is a rare presentation. Chemotherapy and surgery constitute the standard treatment of choice. Non-union of a pathological fracture of femur particularly due to hydatid disease has been known to be resistant to treatment. These resistant cases require combination drug chemotherapy and excision of the lesion. Reconstruction of a large skeletal defect following resection of the lesion poses a challenge to the orthopaedic surgeons. We discuss the staged treatment of hydatid disease of shaft of femur with resection and cement spacer application followed by reconstruction using massive skeletal allograft under cover of combination drug chemotherapy.

RESUMO

The objective of this retrospective study was to evaluate clinical outcomes, local recurrence and complication rates of antihelminthic chemotherapy and wide resection in patients with muscle or bone hydatidosis. The authors treated 10 patients (6 females, 4 males) between 2004 and 2012: 8 with muscle and 2 with bone hydatidosis. The mean age at surgery was 42.5 years (range, 11-66 years). All patients were treated with wide resection and pre- and postoperative chemotherapy with albendazole. The mean follow-up was 64 months (range, 28-120 months). All patients achieved satisfactory clinical outcomes. There were no local recurrences. Surgical complications were seen in 3 patients (30%) : one superficial infection, one deep infection, and one hematoma. Two (20%) required additional surgery. An aggressive oncological approach, consisting of antihelminthic chemotherapy and wide resection, can provide favorable clinical outcomes and prevent local recurrence in patients with musculoskeletal hydatidosis. Potential complications of aggressive surgery should be preferred to potential morbidity of local and systemic dissemination.

RESUMO

Hydatid disease is an extremely uncommon differential diagnosis in the cystic/lytic lesions of bone. We present a rare case of echinococcal infection of femur which presented as pathological fracture in a middle-aged female and diagnosis was confirmed by histopathology. Hydatid disease of bone is often asymptomatic, and its diagnosis is usually made when lesions have become extensive.

RESUMO

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) remains an important health problem in many areas of the world, including the Mediterranean region. We performed a retrospective study of cases reported from 1998 to 2012 in order to review and update the epidemiology of this disease in a highly endemic area situated in western Spain. A total of 471 patients were diagnosed with hydatid disease. Of these cases, 55·8% were male, with an average age of 62·3 ± 19·5 years. More importantly, 1·5% of patients were children, and 20·5% were aged <45 years. An active therapeutic approach was implemented for 92·6% of the CE patients with primary diagnoses; however, a 'watch and wait' strategy was used in 59·3% of all secondary CE diagnoses. The incidence rate of hydatid disease was significantly higher compared to the incidence described in the Notifiable Disease System in this area. Furthermore, a significant decrease in hydatid incidence during the years included in the study was observed (ß = -0·4357, P < 0·001). CE incidence has diminished in recent years, although active transmission remains in paediatric cases. Additionally, CE incidence remains high in our region despite public health plans for its control. The documented incidence of CE disease clearly underestimates the real numbers.

RESUMO

Osseous hydatidosis is a very severe and recurrent complication of hydatidosis. The two cases reported here illustrate the severity of this invasive and destructive osseous parasitosis located at the femur and the hip joint, which required extensive resection and prosthetic reconstruction. The first case had a long history of liver and lung hydatidosis with a wide 'en-bloc' extra-articular resection of the right hip joint including the proximal femur; the second case had an 'en-bloc' total femur resection and total femur prosthesis. Preoperative and postoperative chemotherapy with albendazole was combined with surgery and was applied for many months. These two cases occurred several years after the incomplete treatments of recurrent lung or liver hydatidosis and might have been prevented if chemotherapy had been initially applied.

RESUMO

Hydatid disease is a parasitic tapeworm infection caused by the Echinococcus species. Involvement of the long tubular bones is rare in hydatid bone disease. Patients are initially asymptomatic and usually present at a later stage of the disease when the bony lesions are extensive. Diagnosing bone hydatid disease is challenging, even in endemic regions, and a high index of suspicion is required because the radiologic findings often mimic other bone pathologies. Recurrence following treatment can occur after a long period of quiescence.This article describes a case of hydatid disease in a 62-year-old woman with extensive diaphyseal tibial involvement. She was treated with initial chemotherapy followed by extended curettage, polymethylmethacrylate cementation, and intramedullary fixation. Functional outcome was excellent, with no recurrence at 60-month follow-up. She was fully weight bearing with no pain or discomfort and had full hip, knee, and ankle range of motion.This case was important due to its rarity, the diagnostic challenge it presented, and the composite nature of the treatment used to avoid recurrence. Diaphyseal bone hydatidosis can be initially treated like a low-grade malignant tumor with curettage and high-speed burring, followed by filling the defect with polymethylmethacrylate cement. The composite treatment of chemotherapy with the surgical protocol described offers a reasonable chance of long-term disease suppression. Recurrent disease can be treated with repeat curettage and cementation. Wide excision with reconstruction of the resulting defect should only be considered for recalcitrant diaphyseal hydatid disease.

RESUMO

Hydatidosis is an endemic disease in different parts of the world. Its causal agent is the cestode from the genus Echinococcus. The most commonly affected organs in humans are liver and lung. Bone hydatid disease is a very rare entity, accounting for 0.5 to 4% of total cases. We report a case of a 58 year-old woman from La Rioja, Argentina, who consulted for left infapatellar pain and walking disability of eight months duration. Imaging studies showed a cystic lesion which involved metaphysis and diaphysis of left proximal tibia. Surgical resection was performed and histopathological study confirmed that it was a hydatid cyst. The patient did well and completed three cycles of treatment with albendazole. Currently, she has no evidence of disease and she recovered motility of her left leg. Primary hydatid bone disease, where there is no evidence of systemic disease, is even more unusual. Tibia involvement occurs in up to 15% of the cases. These lesions clinically manifest when they suffer any type of complications. Preoperative diagnosis is mainly made by imaging studies. Lesions are usually osteolytic and can involve cortical bone and extend to soft tissues. Differential diagnosis with inflammatory processes and bone tumors should is mandatory. Treatment is surgical and prognosis is poor due to its high morbi-mortality rate and recurrence risk from 70 to 80%.

RESUMO

Hydatid cyst disease is a parasitic infection which is caused by the metacestode form of Echinococcus granulosus and affects primarily the liver and lung. Bone involvement is found in 1% of patients afflicted with this disease. The spine is involved in about 50% of these cases. Herein, we report a 70 year old male case with pelvic and spinal hydatid cyst who was operated on eleven times.

RESUMO

Although nitazoxanide has been shown to have activity against Echinococcus multilocularis in animal studies and against E. granulosus in vitro, its use in treatment of human cystic echinococcosis has not been reported. We report a case of progressive bony hydatid disease treated with nitazoxanide that showed a clinical and radiologic response. The patient had a 40-year history of hydatid disease involving the left hip. Despite prolonged courses of albendazole and praziquantel, she had progressive disease with extensive involvement of the left hemipelvis and adjacent soft tissue cysts. She was treated with nitazoxanide, 500 mg twice a day for 3 months in combination with albendazole. The clinical response was supported by imaging showing marked improvement in the soft tissue cysts, with stable disease in the bony pelvis. Although further studies are required, this case suggests that nitazoxanide may be an effective treatment option in hydatid disease, particularly in patients with progressive disease who are receiving conventional therapy.

RESUMO

Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus or, less frequently Echinococcus multilocularis. The liver and lungs are most often affected; hydatid disease of radius without involvement of other sites is extremely rare. Osseous hydatid disease should be included in the differential diagnosis for cystic lesions of bone. The diagnosis of bone hydatidosis is primarily based on radiological and histopathological findings. Here we present a case of hydatid cyst in the lower third of radius in a 34-year old woman. The cysts were removed with wide excision and post-operative albendazole was given. No recurrence was observed on two years follow-up.

RESUMO

Hydatid disease is caused by the tapeworm of genus ;Echinococcus. Genus Echinococcus has different species including Echinococcus vogeli, Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilucularis. Echinococcus granulosus is the most common cause of hydatid disease in humans. This disease can take place either directly through ingestion of parasite eggs from contact with infected dogs or indirectly from the ingestion of contaminated water or food. Infestation of hydatid disease in humans most commonly occurs in the liver (55-70%), followed by the lungs (18-35%). Bone hydatidosis however is very rare,whenever it occurs; it is usually secondary to visceral involvement. We present herein a case of primary hydatid cyst involving superior pubic ramus in a 43 years male patient, which is not a common site for the occurrence of this disease. Diagnosis is usually delayed if high index of suspicion is not there. MRI is a good tool for reaching diagnoses.

RESUMO

Bone echinococcosis affects the spine and pelvis in 60% of cases. Bone lesions may be silent for between 10 and 20 years. The capsules progress aggressively through the medullary canal and replace the trabecular bone without forming cysts, as occurs in the organs, thus making anaplylaxis rare. The combination of chemotherapy and surgery facilitates anesthetic management and reduces the incidence of anaphylactic events and disease recurrence.

RESUMO

Hydatid disease is still endemic in several regions worldwide and is caused in most cases by the larval form of two species of the tapeworm Echinococcus: E. granulosus and E. multilocularis. Bone involvement is rare (0.2-4%), affecting the spine in almost half of the cases. The disease is usually silent until a complication (e.g. paraplegia or pathologic fracture) occurs. Many cases are diagnosed intraoperatively. Pre-operative diagnosis is based on radiological findings and serological assays, which lack high sensitivity and specificity. A high index of suspicion is necessary for the diagnosis, especially in patients that live in or travel to sheep-raising areas where hydatid disease is endemic. The treatment of choice is surgical, following the principles of a locally malignant lesion. Chemotherapy (albendazole alone or in combination with praziquantel) is used as an adjuvant treatment or when surgery is not possible. The prognosis is often poor, especially in the spine: most patients do not recover neurologically, the mortality and complication rate is high and many cases recur, as it is often impossible to radically excise the pathologic tissue.

RESUMO

La enfermedad hidatídica ósea es una entidad infrecuente que representa el 0,5-2,5% de todas las hidatidosis. Las vértebras son los huesos más comúnmente afectados (50%) seguidos de la pelvis (25%) y de los huesos largos (15-25%). Las manifestaciones clínicas aparecen cuando existe una gran destrucción ósea o complicaciones, por lo que el diagnóstico se realiza generalmente en estadios tardíos mediante técnicas de imagen y en ocasiones de manera intraoperatoria. El tratamiento en los casos operables es la extirpación quirúrgica pudiendo asociar tratamiento medico con albendazol. Presentamos el caso de un paciente con hidatidosis ósea, localizada en la pelvis, en ausencia de afectación de otros órganos. El paciente presenta como única manifestación clínica una tumoración inguinal derecha y es intervenido quirúrgicamente ante la sospecha de una hernia inguinal complicada con el hallazgo intraoperatorio de hidatidosis pélvica


Osseous hydatid disease is an infrequent entity that represents 0.5-2.5% of all hydatidoses. The vertebrae are the most commonly affected bones (50%), followed by the pelvis (25%) and the long bones (15-25%). The clinical manifestations appear when there is large scale osseous destruction or complications, which is why the diagnosis is generally made in late stages through imaging techniques and on occasion in an intra-operational form. Treatment in operable cases is by surgical extirpation, which can be associated with medical treatment with albendazol. We present the case of a patient with osseous hydatidosis, localised in the pelvis, with an absence of other affected organs. The only clinical manifestation presented by the patient was an inguinal tumour on the right side. The patient received a clinical intervention facing the suspicion of an inguinal hernia, complicated by the intra-operational discovery of pelvic hydatidosis
