Hydatid disease patho/ogy has a high incidence leve/
in Uruguay. lt is rarely found in subcutaneous ce/fular
tissues and striated muse/es, usual/y presenting a tumorous
clinica/ structure.
This report refers to seven new cases of hydatid echinococcosis
[HE] in soft parts. We further present an
exhaustive analysis of national and international literature
involving the last 20 years.
Our series includes patients that were trated in three
centers of Florida and Montevideo during the period
ranging from 1985 through 2000.
We arrived at diagnosis through ultrasound and C.A. T
analysis {4 cases] as we/1 as by puncture and evacuation
of daughter cysts. Among those patients subject
to surgery without prior diagnosis, three suffered intraoperatory
rupture of two cysts. The other case was diagnosed
by anatomo-patho/ogic procedures. No other
cysts located at a visceral site were identified.
