Abstract

Objective: Hepatic hydatid cysts are often asymptomatic; however, in rare cases, they may present with atypical symptoms due to complications. This case report presents a patient with a hydatid cyst who presented with a persistent cough as the primary symptom. Case: A 59-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with a 6-month history of persistent cough and a 3-month history of biliary sputum production. Her medical history included previous PAIR (Puncture, Aspiration, Injection, Re-aspiration) and ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography) procedures for hydatid disease. Radiological imaging revealed a hepatic cyst located in the right lobe of the liver, with extension to the diaphragm and a fistulous connection to the bronchial tree, consistent with a bronchobiliary fistula. The patient was treated with albendazole and underwent endoscopic drainage via ERCP. Following the intervention, significant clinical improvement was observed. Conclusion: Hydatid liver cysts can present with atypical symptoms such as chronic cough, especially in endemic regions. Bronchobiliary fistula is a rare but serious complication. Therefore, in patients with unexplained persistent cough and biliary sputum, hydatid disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis

Özet

Amaç: Karaciğer kist hidatik olguları genellikle asemptomatik seyreder; fakat nadir olarak komplikasyonlara bağlı atipik semptomlarla prezente olabilmektedir. Bu olgu sunumunda, öksürük şikayeti ile başvuran bir kist hidatik olgusu sunulmaktadır. Vaka: 59 yaş kadın hasta, 6 aydır devam eden inatçı öksürük ve son 3 aydır safralı balgam şikâyeti ile kliniğimize başvurdu. Özgeçmişinde kist hidatiğe yönelik PAİR (Perkutan Aspirasyon, Enjeksiyon ve Reaspirasyon) ve ERCP (Endoskopik Retrograd Kolanjiyo Pankreatografi) öyküsü mevcuttu. Görüntülemelerde, karaciğer sağ lob yerleşimli kistin diyafragma ve akciğer ile ilişkili olduğu, bronkobiliyer fistül geliştiği saptandı. Hastaya medikal tedavi ( albendazol) ile beraber ERCP işlemi ile endoskopik drenaj uygulandı. İşlem sonrası semptomlarda belirgin düzelme gözlemlendi. Sonuç: Karaciğer kist hidatik, özellikle endemik bölgelerde öksürük gibi atipik bulgularla prezente olabilmektedir. Bronkobiliyer fistül, nadir fakat ciddi bir komplikasyondur. Bu nedenle açıklanamayan, inatçı öksürük ve safralı balgam varlığında ayırıcı tanıda kist hidatik akılda tutulmalıdır.
