Abstract

Hydatid cyst disease, which is caused by Echinococcus granulosus and Echinococcus multilocularis, is a prevalently seen zoonotic infestation worldwide. The most often affected organs are liver (%65) and lungs (%25) in human beings. Thyroid gland involvement is very rare even in regions where the disease is endemic. In this study, two rare cases, aged 70 and 15 years who were admitted to the hospital with swelling on the neck and diagnosed as thyroid cyst hydatid was presented.

Özet

Kist hidatik hastalığı, Echinococcus granulosus ve Echinococcus multilocularis ile oluşan, tüm dünyada yaygın görülen, zoonotik bir enfestasyondur. İnsanlarda en sık tutulan organlar karaciğer (%65) ve akciğerlerdir (%25). Tiroid bezi tutulumu hastalığın endemik olduğu bölgelerde bile son derece enderdir. Bu çalışmada, 70 ve 15 yaşlarında, boyunda şişlik yakınmasıyla başvuran ve histopatolojik olarak tiroid bezinde kist hidatik saptanan iki ender olgu sunuldu.
