Аннотация
BACKGROUND: With hydatid cyst, the skeletal muscles and diaphragm are rarely affected, and hepatic and pulmonary hydatid cysts are far more common. We report a case with an unusual localization of diaphragmatic and serratus muscle anterior hydatidosis that occurred simultaneously.
CASE REPORT: A 37-year-old developmentally disabled woman presented to the Emergency Department (ED) of Harran University with tachycardia, tachypnea, and dyspnea. On pulmonary auscultation, breath sounds were decreased on the right side. A chest X-ray study revealed a radiopaque right hemithorax with a mediastinal shift and tracheal displacement. Thoracic computed tomography scan revealed a hydatid cyst in the serratus muscle anterior and cystic vesicles in the pleural cavity. The patient underwent chest drainage. During drainage, daughter vesicles within the pus were detected macroscopically. An elective thoracotomy was performed after hemodynamic stabilization of the patient. Postoperative chest X-ray study demonstrated that the lungs had re-expanded. The patient had no postoperative complications and was discharged with relief of all symptoms.
CONCLUSION: Hydatid cyst should be considered, especially in endemic regions, in the differential diagnosis in the presence of a rare localization or unexpected clinical presentation. Surgical intervention is the appropriate approach for the treatment of hydatid cyst when there is concomitant intrathoracic involvement.
