ABSTRACT
Hydatid disease is caused by a cestode, Echinococcus. Its intermediate hosts are herbivores but humans can be accidental hosts. Hydatid disease is endemic in some parts of America, Australia, the Mediterranean region, Central Asia, and Central and Eastern Europe. The organs most frequently affected by Echinococcus are the liver and the lungs. Primary involvement of the skeleton is rare. Cases have been reported in the vertebrae, pelvis, humerus and femur. The location of hydatid cysts in the tibia is rarely described in the medical literature. We, herein, report a case of primary hydatid cyst of the tibia presenting with a pathologic fracture simulating benign bone cystic lesion. The diagnosis of hydatid bone disease was not suspected preoperatively. This case emphasizes the importance of considering hydatid disease in the differential diagnosis of cystic bone lesions, especially in individuals coming from regions where the disease is endemic.
RESUMEN
La enfermedad hidatídica es causada por un céstodo del género equinococo. Sus huéspedes intermediarios son animales herbívoros, pero los seres humanos pueden ser huéspedes accidentales. La enfermedad hidatídica es endémica en algunas partes de América, Australia, la región mediterránea, Asia central, y Europa central y oriental. Los órganos más frecuentemente afectados por los equinococos son el hígado y los pulmones. Es raro un compromiso primario del esqueleto es rara. Se han reportado casos en las vértebras, pelvis, húmero y fémur. La localización de los quistes hidatídicos en la tibia, raramente se describe en la literatura médica. Aquí reportamos un caso de quiste hidatídico primario de la tibia acompañado de fractura patológica simulando una lesión quística benigna del hueso. El diagnóstico de la enfermedad hidatídica ósea no fue sospechado preoperatoriamente. Este caso destaca la importancia de considerar la hidatidosis en el diagnóstico diferencial de las lesiones óseas quísticas, especialmente en individuos procedentes de regiones donde la enfermedad es endémica.
