A Case of Ruptured Hydatid Cyst With Upper Lobe Localization That Imitated Active Lung Tuberculosis

Öz

Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infestation caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Although liver is the most common site of infection, lungs may also be affected in 10 to 30 % of cases. The cyst is usually located in the lower lobes of the lungs. A 49-year-old male patient with a cavitary lesion in the posterior segment of the right upper lobe, was admitted to the tuberculosis ward with a preliminary diagnosis of lung tuberculosis (TB), and anti-TB treatment was started empirically. Bronchoscopy was performed after three different sputum examinations with negative results for acid-fast bacilli (AFB). Bronchoalveolar lavage examination was also negative for AFB. High resolution computed tomography showed findings of a ruptured hydatid cyst, rather than TB. A cysctotomy was performed to the patient whose indirect hemagglutination test result was negatıve for hydatid cyst. Turkish Başlık: Aktif Akciğer Tüberkülozunu Taklit Eden Üst Lob Yerleşimli Patlamış Kist Hidatik Olgusu Anahtar Kelimeler: Pulmoner echinococcus/radyografi; bilgisayarlı tomografi; pılmoner tüberküloz Kist hidatik, Echinococcus granulosus'un neden olduğu sıklıkla karaciğerde olmakla birlikte %1030 olguda akciğerde de görülebilen paraziter bir hastalıktır. Akciğerlerde daha çok alt loblarda yerleşmektedir. Akciğer grafisinde sağ akciğer üst lob posterior segmentte kavitesi olan 49 yaşında bir erkek hasta akciğer tüberkülozu (TB) ön tanısı ile tüberküloz servisine yatırılarak ampirik olarak antiTB tedavi başlandı. Balgam incelemelerinde aside dirençli basil (ADB) üç kez negatif olarak saptanan hastaya bronkoskopi yapıldı. Bronş lavajında da ADB'nin negatif olması üzerine yapılan yüksek rezolüsyonlu bilgisayarlı tomografide akciğer TB ile ilgili bulguları değil rüptüre olmuş kist hidatik ile uyumlu olabilecek bulgular görüldü. Kist hidatik için indirekt hemaglutinasyon testi negatif olan bu hastada kistotomi uygulandı.
