Pulmoner nodül görünümünde kist hidatik embolisi: Olgu sunumu

Ekinokokkozis, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde hepatik ve pulmoner bulgularla kendini gösteren bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Nadiren pulmoner artere kistik embolizasyon ile kendini gösterebilir ve önemli morbiditeye neden olabilir. Karaciğerde multiloküle kistik lezyonları olan ve vena kava inferior aracılığı ile sağ hemitoraksa uzanan hidatik emboli olgusu sunuyoruz. Hastanın tanısı kontrastsız bilgisayarlı tomografi ile kondu ve radyokontrast maddeye alerjisi olması nedeniyle manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile doğrulandı.

Hydatid cyst embolism masquerading as pulmonary nodule: A case report

Echinococcosis is still a public health problem in developing countries presenting with hepatic and pulmonary manifestations. Rarely, the clinical condition can manifest with cystic embolization to the pulmonary artery and causes significant morbidity. We present a case with hydatid embolism who has multiloculated cystic lesions in the liver and protruding into the right hemithorax through the inferior vena cava. She was diagnosed with non-contrast-enhanced computed tomography and the diagnosis was confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging because of her allergy to radiocontrast material.

Keywords:

Echinococcosis, pulmonary embolism, CT, MRI.,
