Abstract

Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, which is endemic in many parts of the world. Hydatid cysts can occur in any organ of the human body and the lung is the most common site in children, primarily related to higher lung tissue elasticity. Bilateral pulmonary hydatid cyst is a rare clinical phenomenon in young children. Here, we report on a 3-year-old boy diagnosed with bilateral pulmonary hydatid cyst after he came with four months history of dry cough and progressive worsening of shortness of breath. Computed tomography of the chest revealed large bilateral thick-walled pulmonary cystic mass lesions, with bilateral perihilar extension and pressure effect on the diaphragm with surrounding atelectatic changes. The patient underwent left posterolateral thoracotomy and cyst excision was done for the left hydatid cyst. Two months after the first surgical cyst excision, right posterolateral thoracotomy and cystectomy was done for the right lung hydatid cyst. He recovered well post-operatively.

双侧肺大包虫病:一例罕见的埃塞俄比亚儿童病例。
包虫病是由细粒棘球绦虫引起的一种寄生虫病,在世界许多地方流行。包虫囊肿可发生在人体的任何器官,肺是儿童中最常见的部位,主要与肺组织弹性较高有关。摘要双侧肺包虫病是一种罕见的幼儿临床现象。在此,我们报告一名3岁男童,在出现4个月的干咳及呼吸短促进行性恶化后,被诊断为双侧肺包虫病。胸部计算机断层扫描显示双侧大厚壁肺囊性肿块,双侧门周延伸,膈受压,周围无电性改变。患者行左侧后外侧开胸术,左侧包虫囊肿行囊肿切除。第一次手术后2个月,右侧后外侧开胸加膀胱切除术治疗右肺包虫囊肿。术后恢复良好。
