Rapid Growth of a Hepatic Hydatid Cyst in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Report From Iran and Its Clinical Significance

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 2, February 2025.
ABSTRACT Hepatic hydatid cysts in pediatric patients present unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to their rapid growth and potential to mimic other pathologies. This case highlights the importance of considering hydatid disease in the differential diagnosis of hepatic cysts, especially in children from endemic regions.

Giant Hydatid Cyst Originating From Psoas Muscle Extending to the Iliac Bone: A Case Report

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 13, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Hydatid cysts, caused by the Echinococcus granulosus parasite, predominantly affect the liver and lungs, but can also impact other organs such as the kidneys, brain, and muscles. Infection occurs when individuals ingest eggs from contaminated food or water, leading to cyst formation primarily in the liver.
