Cystic echinococcosis (CE) may be encountered in almost every site of the body, but bone involvement is relatively rare. The vertebral column and pelvis are the most affected areas. The combined medical and surgical approach is the main treatment option in current literature. Although percutaneous treatment of CE cysts located in the liver, spleen, kidney, and soft tissues has become a serious alternative to surgery, there is no bone CE cyst treated percutaneously in the literature. This case report aims to point out that percutaneous treatment can be an effective treatment choice and alternative to surgery.
囊型包虫病(CE)几乎可发生于人体的任何部位,但骨骼受累相对少见。脊柱和骨盆是最常受累的部位。目前文献中主要的治疗选择是联合使用内科和外科方法。虽然经皮治疗位于肝脏、脾脏、肾脏和软组织的 CE 囊肿已成为手术的一种重要替代方法,但文献中尚无经皮治疗骨 CE 囊肿的报道。本病例报告旨在指出,经皮治疗可以是一种有效的治疗选择,也是手术的替代方法。
