A 65-year-old man, with signs of acute colon obstruction, was diagnosed with rectal tumour and liver hydatid cyst. Additionally, a focal liver lesion in segment 1 was detected. Moreover, physical examination revealed hepatomegaly and abdominal distension. Thus, rectal resection and small liver lesion biopsy was performed. Serological and pathohistological analyses showed concomitant presence of hydatid cyst and colorectal metastasis in the liver. Hence, the cyst was treated with anthelmintic therapy, and patient lived another year after the diagnosis. To the best of our knowledge, cases of concomitant hydatid cyst and colorectal liver metastasis has never been reported; thus, this article addresses a unique case of coexistence between these two serious liver diseases.
一位 65 岁男性,存在急性结肠梗阻迹象,被诊断为直肠肿瘤和肝包虫囊肿。此外,还在第 1 段发现了一个局灶性肝病变。此外,体格检查发现肝肿大和腹胀。因此,进行了直肠切除术和小肝病变活检。血清学和组织病理学分析显示肝包虫囊肿和结直肠转移同时存在。因此,采用驱虫疗法治疗囊肿,患者在诊断后又活了一年。据我们所知,肝包虫囊肿和结直肠肝转移同时存在的病例从未有报道;因此,本文报道了这两种严重肝病同时存在的独特病例。
