Hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland is extremely rare even in generalized hydatid disease, with less than 20 cases reported in world literature including those found in autopsy.
The authors present the second case of the adrenal gland hydatid cyst described in Serbian literature, in 52-year old woman. During the investigation for the epigastric pain by ultrasonography and computed tomography, calcified cyst of the sixth segment of the liver, 44x39 mm in diameter, was diagnosed. However, during an open surgery, it turned out to be the cyst of the right adrenal gland. The cyst as well as the entire adrenal gland was removed. The hydatid nature of the cyst was confirmed by histological examination. The post-operative recovery was uneventful. The patient has remained symptom-free over two years after the surgery.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the second case reported in Serbian and 18th case published in world literature.
肾上腺包虫囊肿极为罕见,即便在全身性包虫病中亦是如此,世界文献报道(包括尸检发现的病例)不足20例。
作者介绍了塞尔维亚文献中描述的第二例肾上腺包虫囊肿病例,患者为一名52岁女性。在对该患者上腹部疼痛进行超声和计算机断层扫描检查时,诊断出肝脏第六段有一个直径为44×39毫米的钙化囊肿。然而,在开放手术中发现它是右肾上腺囊肿。囊肿及整个肾上腺均被切除。组织学检查证实了囊肿的包虫性质。术后恢复顺利。患者术后两年一直无症状。
据我们所知,这是塞尔维亚报道的第二例,也是世界文献中发表的第18例。
