摘要

导言:肺棘球蚴病是由颗粒棘球蚴的幼虫阶段引起的,给诊断带来了很大的挑战,它常常模仿更常见的胸部病变,如肺癌和支气管源性囊肿。本报告强调了在肺部病变的鉴别诊断中考虑棘球蚴病的重要性。病例报告:我们讨论了一名 24 岁男性的病例,他最初被怀疑患有肺内支气管源性囊肿,后来确诊为肺棘球蚴病。诊断是通过放射学检查结果、外科手术干预和病理学检查综合确定的,这凸显了正确识别这种寄生虫感染所涉及的复杂性。结论:该病例说明,尤其是在肺棘球蚴病流行地区,提高对肺棘球蚴病的认识并采取综合诊断方法至关重要。它强调了在肺部囊性病变的鉴别诊断中详细成像和考虑棘球蚴病的作用,以防止误诊并确保适当的治疗。

Masquerading parasites: A case study on pulmonary echinococcosis mimicking lung cancer and bronchogenic cyst
Introduction: Pulmonary echinococcosis, caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granuloses, presents significant diagnostic challenges, often mimicking more common thoracic pathologies, such as lung cancer and bronchogenic cysts. This report underscores the importance of considering echinococcosis in differential diagnoses for lung lesions. Case Report: We discuss the case of a 24-year-old male, initially suspected to have an intrapulmonary bronchogenic cyst, later diagnosed with pulmonary echinococcosis. The diagnosis was established through a combination of radiological findings, surgical intervention, and pathological examination, highlighting the complexities involved in correctly identifying this parasitic infection. Conclusion: This case illustrates the critical need for heightened awareness and a comprehensive diagnostic approach to pulmonary echinococcosis, particularly in endemic areas. It emphasizes the role of detailed imaging and consideration of echinococcosis in the differential diagnosis of cystic lung lesions to prevent misdiagnosis and ensure appropriate treatment.
