Cytology-Histology Correlation of Hepatic and Pelvic Hydatid Cyst

Abstract

Bronislaw L Slomiany*

Echinococcosis, also known as hydatid cyst, is a parasitic condition brought on by the larval form of the genus Echinococcus. In sheep-raising regions, particularly the Mediterranean nations, the Middle East, Eastern Europe, South America, Australia, and New Zealand, the disease is endemic. The spread of this disease has reached every continent currently as a result of rising migration and travel. Hydatid cysts have sporadically been noted in visitors to Korea or workers from endemic regions. It has been revealed how to examine hydatid cysts using fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC). To our knowledge, Korea hasn't previously received a report on the aspiration cytologic characteristics of hepatic hydatid cysts.
