The authors wanted to analyze the epidemiological features of extrapulmonary hydatid cysts and compare their results with those reported in literature.
Two hundred and sixty-five cases of extrapulmonary hydatid cysts collected from 1990 to 2007 were retrospectively studied.
One hundred and one male and 164 female patients (sex ratio M/F=0.61 mean age 38.7 years) were included. In our series, hydatid cysts involved mainly the kidney (24.1%), the central nervous system (22.6%), the liver (19.6%) and the spleen (11.3%).
Contrary to published data, our results show that hydatid cysts of the kidney and of the central nervous system are more frequent than hepatic location which ranks 3rd. Such unusual results may be due to a selection bias.
作者希望分析肺外包虫囊肿的流行病学特征,并将他们的结果与文献报道的结果进行比较。
回顾性研究了1990年至2007年收集的265例肺外包虫囊肿病例。
纳入101例男性和164例女性患者(性别比M/F = 0.61,平均年龄38.7岁)。在我们的系列研究中,包虫囊肿主要累及肾脏(24.1%)、中枢神经系统(22.6%)、肝脏(19.6%)和脾脏(11.3%)。
与已发表的数据相反,我们的结果表明,肾脏和中枢神经系统的包虫囊肿比排在第三位的肝脏部位更为常见。这种不寻常的结果可能是由于选择偏倚。
