Hydatid disease is very common in endemic areas and is one of the most
frequent parasitoses in Turkey. We present a rare case of hydatidosis
related to the right hepatic colon lumen. Hydatid cysts were present on
the liver, in the right adrenal region, and also on the hepatic flexura,
surrounded by the right colon and omentum. In our case, a cyst adjacent
to the ascending colon had ruptured into the colon lumen and developed a
cystocolonic communication. Cysts may not always be detectable by
ultrasound (US); adrenal and right colonic cysts may not be detected,
depending on the patient’s colonic gas superposition factors or other
reasons related to the operator. In our case, multiple hydatid cysts and
cystocolonic communication of complications of the cyst were found with
multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT), and then, a colonoscopy
identified the cystocolonic communication. These results reveal the
important role of CT in the differential diagnosis process. J Clin Exp Invest 2016; 7 (2): 207-210
