Abstract

Primary lesions of hydatid cysts caused by Echinococcus granulosus, are frequently localized in liver, followed by lungs, muscles, kidneys, spleen and bones. Pelvic inoculations are rare and usually occur as a secondary infection. In this report, a case of primary hydatid cyst in the abdomen, spleen and pelvic organs, clinically mimicking tuboovarian abscess, was presented. A nineteen-years-old female patient was admitted to the gynecology outpatient clinic with the complaint of abdominal pain for two days. The case was considered as tuboovarian abscess according to the initial examination findings and hospitalized for treatment and follow-up. In transabdominal ultrasound examination, 44 x 43 mm thin-walled septated cysts in the left ovary and 65 x 65 mm thin-walled multiloculated cysts in the spleen were detected. Abdominal computerized tomography also yielded multivesicular cystic masses in spleen, front abdominal wall and the left ovary. Since the clinical and vital findings worsened, she initially underwent ovarian cystectomy by laparoscopy, then abdominal cystectomy and splenectomy. The operation material examined macroscopically was compatible with hydatid cyst with the characteristics of a germinative membrane and hydatid sand. The diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. The patient was discharged without complication on post-operative sixth day, with a recommendation of albendezol (15 mg/kg/day, 3 months) treatment. Since the patient had undergone emergency surgery, indirect hemaglutination (IHA) test had not been performed pre-operatively. However, post-operative third month serum sample revealed a positive (1/32) IHA titer. In conclusion, hydatid cyst should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of patients with abdominal pain, in response to the high prevalence of the parasite in our country.

Özet

Hidatik kist etkeni olan Echinococcus granulosus, primer olarak sıklıkla karaciğere yerleşmekte bunu sırasıyla akciğer, kas, böbrek, dalak ve kemikler izlemektedir. Pelvik inokülasyon ise oldukça nadirdir ve genellikle sekonder olarak görülür. Bu raporda, klinik olarak tuboovaryan apseyi düşündüren abdomen, dalak ve pelvik organlarda gelişen primer kist hidatik olgusu sunulmaktadır. On dokuz yaşında kadın hasta, iki gündür süren karın ağrısı şikayetiyle kadın doğum polikliniğine başvurmuş ve ilk muayene bulgularına göre tuboovaryan apse olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Tedavi için takibe alınan hastaya transabdominal ultrason uygulanmış ve sol overde 44 x 43 mm ince duvarlı, septalı ve dalakta 65 x 65 mm ince duvarlı multiloküle kistler izlenmiştir. Yapılan abdominal bilgisayarlı tomografide ise dalak, ön abdominal duvar ve sol overde multiveziküllü kistik kitleler görülmüştür. Hastanın vital bulgularının kötüleşmesi üzerine önce laparoskopik olarak ovaryan kistektomi uygulanmış; ardından hasta abdominal kistektomi ve splenektomiye alınmıştır. Operasyon ile çıkarılan örneğin makroskobik incelemesinde hidatik kiste özgü germinatif membran ve kist kumu görülmüş, hidatik kist tanısı histopatolojik inceleme sonucunda doğrulanmıştır. Albendazol (15 mg/kg/gün, 3 ay) tedavisi verilen hasta postoperatif altıncı gün komplikasyonsuz olarak taburcu edilmiştir. Olgunun acilen ameliyata alınması nedeniyle operasyon öncesi indirekt hemaglütinasyon (IHA) testi yapılamamış; postoperatif üçüncü aydaki kontrolde, serum örneğinde çalışılan IHA testi 1/32 titrede pozitif bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, parazitin ülkemizdeki prevalansı göz önünde bulun durularak, karın ağrısı şikayetiyle başvuran hastaların ayırıcı tanısında pelvik hidatik kistin de dikkate alınması gerektiği düşünülmüştür.
