Intrathoracic extraparenchymal recurrent giant hydatid cyst

Abstract

Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by larval forms of Echinococcus granulosus, where it is mostly transmitted to humans by the faeces of infected dogs. Hydatic cysts are localized usually in the liver (in 60-70% of cases) and in the lungs (in 20-30% of cases), whereas intrathoracic extrapulmonary involvement is rare. Symptoms vary depending on the size and localization of the cysts. After a lung or liver operation, hydatid disease recurs with a rate of between 1.4%-11%. In this report, we evaluated the diagnosis and treatment of recurrent intrathoracic extraparenchymal giant hydatid cysts in two patients whom operated on 16 and 20 years before pulmonary hydatiditosis.
