Concurrent Hydatid Cyst with Hepatocellular Cancer in elderly patient: A Case Report

Abstract

Coexistence of primary cancer of liver and hydatic cyst is guite rare. The inflammatory responses given to infectious organisms can promote carcinogenesis or immunosuppression in advanced cancers ma yfavor opportunistic infections. The mechanism striggering Th1 and Th2 cell activation during helminth infections remain unclear. Here in, we report a 83-year old man with hydatid disease of liver associated with hepatocellular carcinoma.

Yaşlı hastada eş zamanlı kist hidatik ile hepatoselüler kanser: Vaka Sunumu

Abstract

Karaciğer primer kanseri ve kist hidatik birlikteliği çok nadirdir. Enfeksiyöz ajanlara gösterilen inflamatuar cevaplar karsinogenezi tetikleyebilir veya ilerlemiş kanserlerde gelişen immun baskılanma fırsatçı enfeksiyonlara yol açabilir. Helmint enfeksiyonları sırasında Th1 ve Th2 hücre aktivasyonunu tetikleme mekanizmaları tam olarak bilinmemektedir.Bu makalede 83 yaşında erkek hastada saptanan karaciğer kist hidatiği ile birlikte tespit edilen hepatoselüler karsinoma olgusu sunulmuştur.

Keywords

• Kistik ekinokokkus,karaciğer kanseri,immün cevap
