Abstract
Introduction: Hydatid cyst is a chronic parasitic infection in humans caused by echinoccocus species. In India highest prevalence is seen in regions like Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. Most common sites for hydatid cyst are liver followed by lung while other sites include muscles, bones, kidney, brain, pancreas and ovaries.
Cases and Discussion: The cases discussed here includes hydatid cyst in liver, lung, ovary and muscle.In one case hydatid cyst of liver was confused with hepatic adenoma .In another case , tuberculosis of lung was suspected. In yet another female patient ovarian cystic disease was provisionally diagnosed before operating patient. Choledocholiathaisis was also interpreted in one patient on the basis of clinical, laboratory investigation and radiologically. Also in one case involving soft tissue lipoma was presumed. In all these cases wet preparations and histopathological examination confirmed diagnosis of hydatid cyst disease. Albendazole is the drug of choice. Typical radiological findings are helpful in the diagnosis of the disease. Surgical removal of hydatid cysts remains the preferred method of treatment.
Conclusion: As no organ is exception to hydatid cyst disease it should be kept in mind along with other differential diagnosis while treating cystic diseases to keep away this major public health problem.
