During the abdominal examination of the patient, tenderness and defense were detected in the right lower quadrant. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) angiography of the abdominal aorta was ordered because the patient had a history of previous stenting and right lower quadrant deficiency. In the right iliopsoas muscle, there was an increase in size suggestive of abscess formation with air densities. The diameter of the ascending aorta was 44 mm. At the level of the descending thoracic aortic bifurcation, an aneurysmatic appearance was noted in a segment of approximately 140 mm extending to the proximities of both main iliac arteries, and USG showed air in the wall in the aneurysmatic section and mural wall thickening with thrombus. In this case, although the abscess eroded the aneurysmatic aortic wall, acute bleeding did not develop due to the presence of a stent.

Although it rarely causes small bowel obstruction, it is usually asymptomatic and the diagnosis is mostly made incidentally during surgery or autopsy. A 41-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with diffuse and cramping pain lasting for approximately 8 hours. He had nausea and vomiting. No gas or faeces output for 72 hours. Abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed dilated abdominal small intestines and findings consistent with obstruction. The patient was hospitalized with the diagnosis of ileus. Decompression was performed with a nasogastric tube. It was decided to perform diagnostic laparoscopic surgery for the patient who did not respond to 24-hour observation and medical treatment. Laparoscopic examination revealed a thin membrane covering the small intestine from the terminal ileum to the middle of the jejunal segment on the right side of the abdomen. All adhesions were separated, the small intestines were released from the pressure of the accessory peritoneum and placed in the abdomen. The patient was discharged without complications on the 6th postoperative day. CPE should be considered in small bowel obstructions of unexplained etiology.

The disease is frequently located in liver (65-70%) and lungs (25%). Hydatid disease is usually asymptomatic when located in the extrahepatic regions. Sometimes, diagnosis can be established in the patients, who were taken to operation with non-specific findings, by observing germinative membrane, rockwater, or daughter vesicles during the operation. The aim of the present study is to present the hydatid cyst cases detected in the anterior of the left abdominal acetabulum, head of the pancreas, in the perianal region, and on the right adrenal gland. \u0000Case 1: A 41-year-old female patient applied to our clinic with the complaint of intermittent left inguinal pain. echinococcus Indirect Hemagglutination (IHA) test was positive. In the ultrasonographic examination, a hypoechoic area was observed in the posteromedial of the left femoral head. Cystic lesion was observed in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Pathology result of the patient was assessed as “compatible with hydatid cyst”. \u0000Case 2: A 56-year-old female patient, applied with the complaints of intermittent nausea, vomiting, and epigastric pain. She had a history of surgery for liver hydatid cyst 15 years ago and for lung hydatid cyst 10 years ago. IHA test of the patient was positive. The lesion involving septation and accompanied by calcifications around the cyst was reported as a hydatid cyst at dynamic CT for pancreas and upper abdominal MRI. \u0000Case3: A 22-year-old female patient applied with perianal pain complaint. Drainage was planned for the patient who had a pre-diagnosis of perianal abscess. Tissues similar to the hydatid cyst membrane were excised together with purulent fluid. The patient was diagnosed with hydatid cyst after the pathology result was reported “as compatible with hydatid cyst”. \u0000Case4: A 32-year-old female patient had a non-metabolic adrenal subcapsular cyst (hydatid cyst?) in the right adrenal gland on ultrasonography performed for abdominal pain. In abdominal tomography, a “cystic mass compatible with hydatid cyst located in the adrenal gland in the upper pole of the right kidney” was reported. IHA test of the patient was negative. Surgical intervention was not considered for the patient, who was thought to be diagnosed with adrenal hydatid cyst with a calcified membrane, and follow-up decision was taken. \u0000DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION \u0000Echinococcus eggs infect people with direct contact with water, food, and dogs. Echinococcus eggs infect people with direct contact with water, food, and dogs. From the intestines, the larvae reach the liver through the veins. Sometimes they cause the disease by passing through the liver or reaching the lungs via lymphatics. Then, they can reach other places in the body, less frequently through the blood.
