An unusual location of hydatid disease: An asymptomatic case with rib destruction

Akciğer grafisinde tesadüfen plevral tabanlı kitle tespit edilen 57 yaşındaki hasta kliniğimize başvurdu. Göğüs tomografisinde sol altıncı kot trasesi boyunca uzanan ve altıncı kotu destrükte eden kitle lezyon tespit edildi. Sol arka-yan torakotomi yapılarak kitle rezeke edildi. Ameliyat sonrası kitlenin kapsülü açıldığında kız veziküller görüldü. Bu yazıda kist hidatik hastalığında çok nadir ve asemptomatik seyreden kot kist hidatiğinin cerrahi tedavisi sunuldu.

Kist hidatiğin nadir bir yerleşimi: Kosta destrüksiyonlu asemptomatik bir olgu

A 57-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a pleural based lesion which was incidentally detected on a chest radiograph. A chest tomography revealed a mass lesion extending left sixth rib. The mass was removed by a left postero-lateral thoracotomy. Daughter vesicles were seen when the lesion was incised postoperatively. In this article, we presented a rib hydatidosis which is very uncommon asymptomatic presentation of hydatid cyst disease with its surgical management.
