1/21. A case of primary hydatidosis of the thyroid gland.A 54-year-old woman presented with an expansive mass in the anterior cervical region (front of the neck) with abscess. Laboratory tests and thyroid profile proved normal. Surgical exploration revealed a hydatid cyst in the left lobe of the thyroid gland with parasitic metastasis of the left lateral cervical lymph node chain. Postoperative examination of the nodule showed it to be a solitary primary thyroid hydatid cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
2/21. Maxillofacial hydatid cysts.We report 2 cases of hydatid cysts occurring in the submandibular gland and buccal submucosa, respectively. Our first case occurred in the submandibular salivary gland of a 20-year-old woman and the second involved the buccal submucosa of a 6-year-old boy. Both diagnoses were made after the excision of the lesions. Both patients were evaluated after surgery, and both were followed up, but no other organs were involved.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |

4/21. Isolated hydatid cyst of the adrenal gland.Hydatide disease of the adrenal gland is extremely rare, even in disseminated disease. Isolated cyst of the gland is even more rare. Only 9 of such cases seem to have been described so far. We present a 49 year old woman in whom a hydatide cyst of the right gland was found during the investigation for the dull pain in the area. She was successfully operated. Hydatide etiology was confirmed at operation and by histology. She had an uneventful recovery. The preoperative pain disappeared postoperatively.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
5/21. Submandibular hydatid cyst caused by echinococcus oligarthrus.An unusual case of echinococcus oligarthrus infestation of the submandibular salivary gland is reported. echinococcus oligarthrus is a rare variant of the echinococcus species affecting humans. To the best of our knowledge only one case of submandibular hydatid cyst caused by echinococcus oligarthrus has been reported. A 28-year-old female patient was admitted with a progressively increasing swelling in the left submandibular region of four years' duration. There was no pulmonary or hepatic involvement. The present case of submandibular hydatid cyst caused by echinococcus oligarthrus is of interest because of the unusual site of the disease.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.2keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
6/21. Percutaneous treatment of a parotid gland hydatid cyst: a possible alternative to surgery.Although the most involved organs are liver and lung, hydatid cysts are very rarely seen in the head and neck region. Only a few cases with hydatid cyst in parotid gland have been reported in the literature. We present the findings of 18 months of follow-up of a case with a hydatid cyst in parotid gland treated percutaneously by using PAIR technique. To our knowledge, this is the first case of parotid gland hydatid cyst who underwent percutaneous treatment. Percutaneous treatment of parotid hydatid cyst seems to be a safe and effective procedure as a possible alternative to surgery.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.4keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
7/21. A hydatid cyst of the thyroid gland.echinococcosis, although eradicated in many countries, is still widespread in communities in which agriculture is dominant, and cystic hydatidosis is a significant public health problem in regions where echinococcosis is endemic. Hydatid cysts may be found in almost any part of the body, but most often in the liver and lungs. Other organs affected occasionally include the brain, muscle, kidney, bone, heart and pancreas. This report documents a rare case with a cystic nodule in the thyroid detected by ultrasonography. The patient was a 40-year-old woman with an euthyroid multinodular goitre. ultrasonography revealed a cystic nodule, and the ultrasonic appearance of the cyst liquid showed multiple echoes, suggesting that the nodule could be a hydatid cyst. Bilateral subtotal thyroidectomy was performed. Postoperative examination of the nodule showed it to be a solitary primary thyroid hydatid cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.8keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
8/21. Echinococcal cyst of the adrenal gland.A very rare case of echinococcal cyst of the adrenal gland is reported. Other organs were free of echinococcal cysts. Treatment consisted of surgical removal of the adrenal cyst through a subcostal incision.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
9/21. Submandibular and intracranial hydatid cyst in an adolescent.OBJECTIVES: An unusual case of hydatid disease is reported. review of the pertinent literature did not reveal any hydatid disease located simultaneously in both the intracranial and submandibular glands. This is the first case with hydatid disease occurring in both locations at the same time. STUDY DESIGN: The case of an 18-year-old is presented; the symptoms, findings, methods of diagnosis, and our approach for treatment are discussed; and the literature is reviewed. RESULTS: The intracranial lesion was completely excised by left-sided frontoparietal craniotomy, and the mass in the right side of the submandibular gland was removed through a submandibular approach at the same session. The intact cyst was completely excised. Histological examination of both lesions confirmed the diagnosis of hydatid cyst by. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, and the patient was discharged on the seventh day. CONCLUSIONS: Hydatid cyst should be suspected during the evaluation of cervical masses, particularly in endemic regions. Hydatid disease infestations are best treated with complete excision of the intact cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 0.4keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
10/21. Hydatid disease in a very unusual location: the adrenal gland. A case report.Hydatid cysts are most often located in the liver and lungs (55-90%), while their location in the adrenal gland is very rare (0.5%). We observed a patient with a hydatid cyst in the adrenal gland, the diagnosis of which was incidental during ultrasonography and computed tomography. The experience acquired in sicily where hydatid disease is endemic makes serological tests unnecessary, also because they often require a lengthy waiting period and are expensive. The patient had undergone surgery for the treatment of hepatic hydatid cysts. The adrenal localization may be explained as a consequence of secondary dissemination via the blood stream. The cyst developed inside the gland and caused atrophy of the glandular tissue. The surgical treatment called for adrenalectomy as the adrenal gland was entirely occupied by the cyst.- - - - - - - - - - ranking = 1.8keywords = gland (Clic here for more details about this article) |
