ABSTRACT
The aim of this study is to consider the parietal complications of the hydatid cyst of the liver: the subcutaneous rupture of the cyst and spontaneous cutaneous fistula of liver hydatid cyst. 1(st) case: A 24-year-old woman, who underwent surgery 10 years ago for hydatid cyst of the liver, was admitted for a right hypochondrium mass and a fistula draining clear liquid containing cystic elements. Computed tomography (CT) showed a large cystic lesion in the subcutaneous tissue communicating with another cystic mass in the liver. The diagnosis of a cyst-cutaneous fistula due to a peritoneal hydatid cyst was established. The patient underwent surgical treatment and recovered uneventfully. 2(nd) case: A 40-year-old woman presented with a mass in her right hypochondrium. The diagnosis of subcutaneous rupture of a hydatid cyst of liver was established by ultrasonography and CT-scan. The patient underwent surgical treatment and recovered uneventfully. Parietal complications of hydatid cyst of the liver are extremely rare, clinical presentation can be derailing. The diagnosis is usually established by ultrasonography and CT-scan.
