Abstract
in English, Spanish

Hydatid cyst (hydatidosis or echinococcosis) is an endemic zoonosis caused by ingestion of Echinococcus eggs. This disease is localized to the liver, but can be found elsewhere. It may be asymptomatic or present with compression discomfort or anaphylactic shock due to cyst rupture. The disease can recur. The diagnosis is made by the symptoms and imaging findings. Serological tests are sometimes done. The diagnosis is confirmed with direct observation of the parasite. Treatment is a combination of anthelmintic with minimally invasive or surgical drainage. This report is from a patient with recurrent hydatid cysts in the abdomen.

El quiste hidatídico (hidatidosis o equinococosis) es una zoonosis endémica causada por la ingesta de huevos de Echinococcus. Esta enfermedad se localiza en el hígado, pero también puede encontrarse en otros sitios. Puede ser asintomática o presentarse con molestias por compresión o choque anafiláctico por rotura del quiste. Puede tener recurrencias. El diagnóstico se realiza por los síntomas y los hallazgos en imagenología. En ocasiones se realizan pruebas serológicas. El diagnóstico se confirma con la observación directa del parásito. El tratamiento es una combinación de antihelmíntico con drenaje mínimamente invasivo o quirúrgico. Se reporta el caso de una paciente con quistes hidatídicos recurrentes en el abdomen.
