Resumen

Presentar dos nuevos casos de quiste hidatídico pelviano, uno con clínica de compresión local y otro asintomático.

Varón de 75 años que refiere tenesmo, dificultad para la micción y defecación. Una ecografía revela que se trata de una gran masa quística pelviana que desplaza la vejiga y el rectosigma. La tomografía computarizada describe imágenes compatibles con hidatidosis y un quiste hidatídico hepático. Se interviene quirúrgicamente al paciente, y se extirpa parcialmente el quiste pelviano. El otro caso es un varón de 75 años que, en el estudio de HBP, se descubre de forma casual una hidatidosis pelviana. Se decide, al estar asintomático, vigilancia.

La anatomía patológica confirma el diagnóstico en el primer caso y los hallazgos radiológicos, en el segundo. Ambos pacientes están asintomáticos.

La posibilidad de hidatidosis se debe considerar en el diagnóstico diferencial de cualquier masa quística localizada en los órganos pelvianos, sobre todo en países donde la enfermedad es endémica.

Aunque no hay un test serológico con el 100% de especificidad, las pruebas radiológicas ayudan a confirmar el diagnóstico. La cirugía es el tratamiento de elección.

Abstract

We present two new cases of pelvic hydatid cysts, one with a clinical profile of local compression and the other one asymptomatic.

The first case is a 75 year-old man who reported difficulty defecating and urinating. The ultrasound revealed a large cystic pelvic mass displacing the bladder and rectosigmoid region. Computed tomography also showed images compatible with hydatid disease and a hydatid liver cyst. The patient underwent a surgical procedure, and the pelvic cyst was partially excised. The other case is an asymptomatic 75 year-old man with pelvic hydatid disease that was discovered by chance while examining a prostatic adenoma.

Because he is asymptomatic, we opted for observation.

The anatomical pathology study confirmed the diagnosis in the first case and radiological findings confirmed the second. Both patients remain asymptomatic.

Hydatid disease must be considered in the differential diagnosis for any cystic masses in the pelvic organs, especially in countries where the disease is endemic. Although no 100% specific serological test exists, there are some radiological procedures which can help us to confirm the disease. Surgery is the treatment of choice.
