Cystic echinococcosis is a parasitic disease caused by The liver and lungs are the most commonly infected organs. We present the first-of-a-kind case of laparoscopic excision of 8 hydatid cysts, of which seven were in the liver and one was in the kidney of a 40-year-old patient. The patient presented with fatigue and fever and a one-year history of vague abdominal pain. Albendazole was administered before surgical intervention. The postoperative follow-up period was notable for a renal fistula. The patient subsequently underwent CT-guided percutaneous removal of a central hepatic hydatid cyst that was inaccessible using laparoscopic techniques. Cystic echinococcosis is endemic in the Mediterranean region. The growing number of immigrants and refugees from endemic areas could increase the prevalence of the disease in nonendemic countries. Therefore, it is important for physicians worldwide to be familiar with the diagnostic modalities and possible treatment options for hydatid disease.
囊性棘球蚴病是一种由[此处原文缺失相关寄生虫名称]引起的寄生虫病。肝脏和肺是最常受感染的器官。我们报告了首例通过腹腔镜切除8个包虫囊肿的病例,其中7个在肝脏,1个在一名40岁患者的肾脏。该患者表现为疲劳、发热,并有一年的腹部隐痛病史。在手术干预前给予了阿苯达唑。术后随访期间出现了肾瘘。该患者随后接受了CT引导下经皮切除一个腹腔镜技术无法触及的肝中央包虫囊肿。囊性棘球蚴病在地中海地区为地方病。来自流行地区的移民和难民数量不断增加,可能会使非流行国家的该病患病率上升。因此,全世界的医生熟悉包虫病的诊断方法和可能的治疗选择很重要。
