Two cases of hydatid cyst were reported in the Microbiology department, Siddartha Medical College in 2011. 42 years old female presented with a history of painless swelling in the right inguinal region for 5 years which was insidious in onset and gradually increasing in size. She developed itching prior to the hospital visit. 40 years old male presented with abdominal swelling since 1 year, not associated with vomiting or jaundice. Both the patients were from rural background. Conclusion. Echinococcus granulosus can cause cystic lesions anywhere in the body. High degree of suspicion of hydatid disease is essential in endemic areas in cystic lesions.
2011年，西达多医学院微生物科报告了2例包虫囊肿病例。一名42岁女性，有右侧腹股沟区无痛性肿胀病史5年，起病隐匿，肿块逐渐增大。就诊前出现瘙痒。一名40岁男性，自1年前开始出现腹部肿胀，无呕吐或黄疸。两名患者均来自农村地区。结论。细粒棘球绦虫可在身体任何部位引起囊性病变。在地方性流行区，对于囊性病变高度怀疑包虫病至关重要。
