Özet
Hydatid cyst, caused by Echinococcus granulosus is a worldwide occurring infectious disease. Although diffuse internal localization of hydatid cysts is common, intramuscular localization has rarely been reported. In this article, we present two cases. In case 1, ultrasonography (US) of a 22 years old male revealed a cystic mass in the paraspinal muscles. After the magnetic resonance imaging, percutaneous drainage was implemented under US guidance to the patient. The cavity was drained and rinsed with alcohol (95%). The cysts, examined after 7 days, displayed a progressive shrinkage and solidification. In case 2, the hydatid cysts were localized in the lateral abdominal wall region. The patient was operated and treated with albendazole. The cystic lesions with rare anatomic localizations require differential diagnosis, especially particularly in the endemic regions of hydatid disease. Following a positive diagnosis, a less invasive method can be applied. Percutaneous drainage treatment was efficient for both diagnosis and treatment in case 1.
