Abstract

The aim of this article is to provide a comprehensive approach to hydatid cyst, a zoonotic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The parasite maintains its life cycle primarily in dogs and sheep; human infection occurs through excessive contact with these animals or the consumption of food or water contaminated with their feces. In isolated muscular cyst cases, negative serological test results are possible, requiring careful attention during diagnosis. Cystic lesions in endemic regions and typical imaging features should raise suspicion. Avoiding invasive procedures is vital to prevent the spread of the parasite. The association between classical imaging findings and endemic regions suggests that any cystic lesion may be a potential indicator of this disease. In this article, two sporadic cases of primary hydatid cysts are presented-one located in the sacral paravertebral region and the other in the gluteus maximus muscle.

Özet

Bu makalenin amacı, Echinococcus granulosus'un neden olduğu zoonotik bir hastalık olan kist hidatik hakkında kapsamlı bir yaklaşım sunmaktır. Parazit, yaşam döngüsünü köpeklerde ve koyunlarda sürdürür; insan enfeksiyonu ise bu hayvanlarla aşırı temas veya onların dışkılarıyla bulaşmış yiyecek veya suyun tüketilmesi sonucunda gerçekleşir. İzole müsküler kist vakalarında negatif serolojik test sonuçları mümkündür ve tanıda dikkatli olunması gerekir. Endemik bölgelerdeki kistik lezyonlardan ve tipik görüntüleme özelliklerinden şüphelenilmelidir. İnvaziv prosedürlerden kaçınmak parazit yayılımını önlemek için hayati öneme sahiptir. Klasik görüntüleme bulguları ile endemik bölgeler arasındaki bağlantı, herhangi bir kistik lezyonun bu hastalığın varlığı açısından potansiyel bir tehlike işareti haline gelmesi demektir. Bu makalede biri sakral paravertebral bölgede, diğeri gluteus maximus kasında olmak üzere sporadik durumlar olan iki primer hidatik kist olgusu sunulmaktadır.
