dc.description.abstractMedical therapy is recommended in various situations such as multiple cysts, high risk surgery , presence of small cyst and perioperative phase in the treatment of hydatid cyst. Present study was designed to determine the features of disseminated hydatid cyst cases, outcome of albendazole treatment , diagnosis and management of complications and patients’ outcome. Methods: 21 patients who had the diagnosis of hydatid cyst based on clinical, radiological, and pathological findings with multiple hydatid cyst in a single organ and/or more than one organ were retrospectively analyzed. The mean age was 34±17.9 (range, 7-71) and F/M was 17/4. Hydatid disease was detected as multiple cysts in the lung in four patients, as multiple cysts in the lung and pleura in one case, and as multiple organ involvement in 16 cases. The most common presentation wasthe involvement ofboth lung and liver. The most common symptom was cough. Four asymptomatic patients were detected during family screening. In six patients, Albendazole was started before the operation and the remainders were started after the operation. Cure was achieved in eight patients at the end of medical and/or surgical treatment. Convenient medical treatment with albendazole treatment in appropriately selected patients is an effective treatment option with minimal side effects in hydatid cyst disease.en_US
