Abstract

Aim of the study: Pulmonary cystic echinococcosis is a parasitic infection transmitted by dogs and occurring in livestock-raising areas. It is included among the neglected tropical diseases, according to the World Health Organization. Imaging plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis of this disease. While cross-sectional imaging modalities such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging are preferred, lung ultrasound may be another feasible technique.

Case description: We report a case of pulmonary cystic echinococcosis in a 26-year-old woman who was examined by contrast-enhanced ultrasound, which showed marked annular enhancement around the hydatid cyst, mimicking a superinfected cyst.

Conclusions: Contrast-enhanced ultrasound examination in pulmonary cystic echinococcosis should be studied in a larger population to determine the value of additional contrast administration. In the present case report, no superinfected echinococcal cyst was seen despite marked annular contrast enhancement.

超声造影诊断肺囊性包虫病1例。

目的:肺囊性棘球蚴病是一种由犬类传播的寄生虫病，多发于家畜养殖区。据世界卫生组织称，它被列入被忽视的热带病。影像学在本病的诊断中起关键作用。虽然计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像等横断面成像方式是首选，但肺超声可能是另一种可行的技术。病例描述:我们报告一位26岁女性的肺囊性包虫病，超声造影显示包虫病周围有明显的环形强化，类似于超感染的囊肿。结论:肺囊性包虫病的超声造影检查应在更大的人群中进行研究，以确定额外使用造影剂的价值。在本病例报告中，尽管有明显的环形对比增强，但未见超感染棘球蚴囊肿。
