Abstract

Objective: Echinococcosis is characterized by cystic structures formed by Echinococcus parasites in various organs, particularly liver, lung, and spleen. Our aim is documenting echinococcosis cases detected in Batman province in Turkey.
Methods: Clinicopathological data of all echinococcosis cases with histopathological diagnosis in Batman province between 2010-2022 were retrospectively recorded. Descriptive analyses of the data were made using the IBM SPSS 22.0 package program.
Results: A total of 55 echinococcosis cases, 23 male (41.8%) and 32 female (58.2%) were identified. The average age is 30 (3-77). Of 33 cases with known clinical complaints, 22 (66.7%) had abdominal pain, two (6.1%) had chest pain, two (6.1%) had cough, and seven (21.2%) had other complaints. One case was diagnosed incidentally in the post-traumatic examination. The mean diameter was 8.5 cm (2.8-25 cm) in 43 lesions of known diameter. The localization was liver in 36 (65.5%) cases, lung in 10 (18.2%) cases, and spleen in three (5.5%) cases. In three cases (5.5%), there was more than one organ involvement. In addition, echinococcosis was detected in the brain, kidney, and arm in three cases (5.5%). Of 45 cases with known data, 32 (71.1%) were unifocal and 13 (28.9%) were multifocal. Excision was performed in 34 (61.8%) cases, resection in 20 (36.4%), and aspiration in one (1.8%) case.
Conclusion: Echinococcosis can be seen in all age groups and present with a variety of findings depending on the organ involvement. It should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of cystic lesions in Turkey, which is among the endemic countries.

Abstract

Amaç: Ekinokokkoz, özellikle karaciğer, akciğer ve dalak gibi çeşitli organlarda Echinococcus parazitleri tarafından oluşturulan kistik yapılarla karakterizedir. Amacımız, Türkiye'nin Batman ilinde tespit edilen ekinokokkoz olgularını belgelemektir.
Materyal ve Metod: Batman ilinde 2010-2022 yılları arasında histopatolojik tanısı konmuş tüm ekinokokkoz olgularının klinikopatolojik verileri retrospektif olarak kaydedildi. Verilerin tanımlayıcı analizleri IBM SPSS 22.0 paket programı kullanılarak yapıldı.
Bulgular: Toplam 55 ekinokokkoz olgusu, 23'ü erkek (%41,8) ve 32'si kadın (%58,2), tespit edildi. Ortalama yaş 30 (3-77) idi. Bilinen klinik şikayeti olan 33 olgudan 22'si (%66,7) karın ağrısı, ikisi (%6,1) göğüs ağrısı, ikisi (%6,1) öksürük ve yedisi (%21,2) diğer şikayetlere sahipti. Bir olguda travma sonrası yapılan muayene sırasında tesadüfen teşhis konuldu. Çapı bilinen 43 lezyonda ortalama çap 8,5 cm (2,8-25 cm) idi. Lokalizasyon, 36 olguda (%65,5) karaciğer, 10 olguda (%18,2) akciğer ve üç olguda (%5,5) dalak idi. Üç olguda (%5,5) birden fazla organ tutulumu mevcuttu. Ayrıca, üç olguda (%5,5%) beyinde, böbrekte ve kolda ekinokokkoz tespit edildi. Mevcut verilere göre 45 olgudan 32'si (%71,1) unifokal, 13'ü (%28,9) multifokaldi. Otuz dört olguda (%61,8) eksizyon, 20 olguda (%36,4) rezeksiyon ve bir olguda (%1,8) aspirasyon uygulandı.
Sonuç: Ekinokokkoz tüm yaş gruplarında görülebilir ve organ tutulumuna bağlı olarak çeşitli bulgularla kendini gösterebilir. Endemik ülkeler arasında yer alan Türkiye'de kistik lezyonların ayırıcı tanısında akılda bulundurulmalıdır.
