A rare cause of acute abdominal distention: opening of the pancreatic duct into hydatic cyst.

Abstract:

INTRODUCTION:Hydatid cyst, which is caused by Echinococcus granulosus, is mostly seen in the liver and lungs although it may also rarely be found in any organ or soft tissue. This study presents an interesting case of pancreatic hydatid cyst in which the pancreatic duct opened into this cyst. CASE REPORT:A 10-year-old boy presented to our clinic with significant abdominal distension and pain in the epigastric region which had started 10 days previously. Serum amylase level was 3709 U/L and hemagglutination inhibition for hydatid disease was 1/160. At abdominal computed tomography, two separate lesions and ascites were determined, a CE2 hydatid cyst in the region of the tail of the pancreas and a CE1 hydatid cyst in the left lobe of the liver. Percutaneous drainage was applied to the cyst in the pancreatic tail, and the patient was started on albendazole. The drainage catheter was removed, and the patient has since been followed-up on an outpatient basis with no complications. INTRODUCCIÓN:El quiste hidatídico, causado por Echinococcus granulosus, se observa mayormente en el hígado y los pulmones, aunque raramente también puede localizarse en cualquier órgano o tejido blando. En este artículo se presenta el caso de un paciente con quiste hidatídico pancreático con apertura del conducto pancreático en el quiste. A PROPÓSITO DE UN CASO:Se atendió en nuestra clínica a un niño de 10 años de edad con distensión abdominal significativa y dolor en el epigastrio de 10 días de evolución. La concentración de amilasa sérica era de 3709 U/l y la inhibición de la hemaglutinación para hidatidosis era de 1/160. En la tomografía computarizada de abdomen se observaron dos lesiones separadas y ascitis, un quiste hidatídico de tipo CE2 en la región de la cola del páncreas y un quiste hidatídico de tipo CE1 en el lóbulo izquierdo del hígado. Se realizó el drenaje percutáneo del quiste ubicado en la cola del páncreas y se inició tratamiento con albendazol. Se retiró la sonda de drenaje, y desde ese momento se ha realizado el seguimiento del paciente sin que se observen complicaciones.
