An asymptomatic echinococcal cyst of the liver discovered during laparotomy was initially diagnosed by cytologic smears. The case probably represents an aseptic necrosis of the parasitic elements in which the cytologic diagnosis had to be based on the presence of the characteristic echinococcal hooklets alone. Subsequent histologic examination of the cyst revealed degenerated scolices, as well as detached hooklets. This paper illustrates the usefulness of cytologic smears in the definitive diagnosis of echinococcosis and cites other cases in the literature in which the disgnosis was made by cytology. Also included is a brief review of the pathology and laboratory diagnosis of the disease.
在剖腹手术中发现的肝脏无症状棘球蚴囊肿最初通过细胞学涂片诊断。该病例可能代表寄生虫成分的无菌坏死，其中细胞学诊断必须仅基于特征性棘球蚴小钩的存在。随后对囊肿的组织学检查发现退化的头节以及脱落的小钩。本文阐述了细胞学涂片在棘球蚴病确诊中的作用，并引用了文献中其他通过细胞学做出诊断的病例。此外，还简要回顾了该疾病的病理学和实验室诊断。
