Abstract

MARIA LUISA, Clavo et al. Quiste hidatídico hepático a propósito de un caso. Gen [online]. 2007, vol.61, n.3, pp.206-209. ISSN 0016-3503.

We report the case of a 51 years old female patient, with a history of contact with domestic animals, to whom we diagnosed a Hepatic Hydatid Cyst, on the grounds of image studies and laboratory tests compatible with a spaceoccupying lesion, multivesicular cysts, in the right hepatic lobe; moderate eosinophilia, and a discreet elevation of the hepatic biochemical profile, with Elisa (IgG) positive for Hydatid Cyst disease. She showed a good response to single therapy with benzimidazole (Albendazole), given orally, with a progressive diminution of the lesion until its total disappearance, without requiring surgical treatment, at follow up for 13 months. We review the literature relative to this disease and its therapeutic options.

Keywords : Hydatid disease; Space-Occupying lesion in the liver; Therapeutics of Hepatic Hydatid Cyst.
