Hydatid Cyst Disease
Hydatid cyst disease is an infection caused by the larva of a parasite that forms fluid-filled cysts in organs of the body, most often in the liver or the lungs. It is usually related to contact with certain animals and its course is slow.
Common symptoms: for a time it may cause no discomfort; as the cyst grows, pain or a feeling of heaviness in the abdomen, chest discomfort, cough, or reactions from pressure on the affected organ may appear.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable with persistent abdominal discomfort or when an imaging study detects a cyst.
Which specialist treats it? The general surgeon assesses the management of the cysts, and the oncologist may take part when it is necessary to distinguish their nature. Seeing these professionals makes an orderly workup of the case easier.
