Primary Solitary Uterine Hydatid Cyst Mimicking an Intramyometrial Cyst: A Case Report.
JNMA J Nepal Med Assoc
March 2024
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital, Maharajgunj, Kathmandu, Nepal.
Article Synopsis
- There is a disease called cystic echinococcal zoonotic disease that is common in Nepal, especially in farms.
- A 76-year-old woman had belly pain and doctors thought she had a myometrial cyst, but during surgery, they found it was actually a rare type of hydatid cyst in her uterus.
- Tests after the surgery confirmed it was caused by a parasite called echinococcus granulosus, which means doctors should be careful and check for this type of cyst in patients with similar problems in places where the disease is common.
Isolated Muscular Echinococcosis of the Hand and Forearm: A Case Report.

September 2024
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Sahloul Hospital, Sousse, Tunisia.
Article Synopsis
- Hydatid diseases are caused by the Echinococcus granulosus parasite, commonly affecting the liver and lungs, but rare cases, like muscular hydatidosis, can occur.
- A case study reported a 71-year-old man with a 2-year history of swelling in his hand and forearm, diagnosed via MRI and confirmed through surgical biopsy.
- The condition is rare, with MRI being the best diagnostic tool, and treatment typically involves surgical removal of the cyst and possible medication to reduce recurrence risk.

Service of Surgery of the Child and the Adolescent CHU of Setif, Ferhat Abbas University, Setif 1, Algeria; Laboratory of Applied Pediatric Surgery, CHU of Setif, Ferhat Abbas University, Setif 1, Setif, Algeria.
Article Synopsis
- - Cystic echinococcosis (CE) poses a significant health risk in Algeria, with surgery being the main treatment but facing complications like recurrence from protoscoleces spread during operations.
- - This study evaluated the scolicidal effects of Atriplex halimus extracts (both ethanolic and aqueous) by analyzing their phytochemical content and antioxidant activity, finding notable differences in phenolic and flavonoid levels.
- - The results indicated that both extracts showed strong scolicidal effects at specific concentrations and times, suggesting that Atriplex halimus could be a promising natural option to enhance CE surgical outcomes.

Article Synopsis
- * Doctors suspected various conditions, including soft tissue sarcomas and cysts, but MRI indicated a primary intramuscular hydatid cyst; however, tests for echinococcal infection were negative.
- * During surgery, it was discovered that the lesion was actually cysticercosis, a rare condition, and the patient recovered well, emphasizing the need to consider this diagnosis in similar cases, especially in endemic regions.
