Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection caused by the tapeworm. Classically, Echinococcal lesions are slowly growing cystic masses with daughter cysts. The most common sites of disease are the liver in 75% of cases and lungs in 15% of cases. This report covers a case of a patient from Southeast Europe with primary extrahepatic hydatid disease in and along the left iliopsoas and sartorius muscles. Retroperitoneal and soft tissue Echinococcus infection without liver involvement is extremely rare and creates a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and radiologists, especially in nonendemic areas.

Assessment and quantitative analysis of hip surrounding muscles in children with developmental dysplasia of the hip via magnetic resonance imaging.
J Orthop Surg Res
December 2024
Department of Pediatric Orthopedics, Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University, No. 36 Sanhao Street, Heping District, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, 110004, China.
Background: The muscles that encase the hip serve a crucial role in both joint stability and functional efficacy, and as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) progresses, the surrounding musculature may undergo specific adaptations that reduce joint stability, thereby exacerbating dislocation. Yet, the exact nature of changes in muscle morphology and quality remains inadequately investigated. This study aimed to compare magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluations of the iliopsoas and other hip flexor and extensor muscles in children with unilateral DDH before and after treatment.

Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a new method that enhances training for deep learning models in auto-segmentation by combining density and diversity criteria to select the most informative samples, thereby reducing manual annotation effort.
- Experiments on MRI and CT images of lower extremities show that this hybrid approach outperforms existing methods, resulting in statistically significant improvements in metrics like dice score and reduced annotation cost (RAC).
- The findings suggest that integrating density and diversity criteria in Bayesian active learning increases efficiency in annotating medical images, ultimately streamlining the segmentation process in medical settings.
Long-term results of huge deep-seated liposarcoma in the thigh: Two case reports.
Medicine (Baltimore)
May 2023
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Hanyang University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Rationale: Liposarcoma is an uncommon malignant tumor that develops in the fatty tissue; thus, the long-term follow-up results of extremely large liposarcomas in the submuscular layer of the thigh have rarely been reported. Here we share the course and outcome of 2 cases of a huge deep-seated liposarcoma in the thigh.
Patient Concerns: Two patients visited our clinic, each with a deep-seated mass in the thigh.
Targeting of Periprosthetic Muscles for the Ultrasonographic Screening of Hip Abnormalities in Hip Resurfacing Arthroplasty Patients.
J Clin Med
April 2023
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Yokohama City University, Yokohama 236-0004, Japan.
Background: Hip resurfacing arthroplasty (HRA) patients require subsequent annual screening for postoperative complications. Ultrasonography may be useful for this purpose but lacks a screening protocol for hips. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography for detecting postoperative complications in HRA patients using a screening protocol that specifically targets periprosthetic muscles.
