Abstract

Most splenic cysts are parasitic. Hydatid disease, a parasitic disease, is endemic in Kashmir. Splenic involvement alone in hydatid disease is very rare. It may remain asymptomatic or, by causing pressure due to increasing size on adjacent viscera, may become symptomatic. A non specific presentation always makes diagnosis difficult. A case of hydatid spleen in a young boy who presented with abdominal pain is reported. Radiology complemented with serology made the diagnosis. Hydatid disease should be considered as a differential diagnosis in every patient with a calcified cystic mass of the spleen in endemic areas. KEY WORDS: Calcified hydatid; Spleen; Splenic cyst; Case report

大多数脾囊肿是寄生的。包虫病是一种寄生虫病,在克什米尔流行。包虫病仅累及脾脏是非常罕见的。它可能保持无症状,或由于邻近脏器增大而造成压力,可能成为症状。非特异性表现往往使诊断困难。一例包虫病脾在一个年轻的男孩谁提出腹部疼痛报告。放射学配合血清学诊断。在流行地区的每一个有钙化的囊性脾肿块的病人,都应将包虫病作为鉴别诊断。关键词:钙化包虫;脾;脾囊肿;病例报告
