Hidatidosis del omóplato con localización extraósea
A forty three-year-old female, born in a rural area of southern Chile, at the age of 30 presented pain and limitation of motility of the right shoulder. Later on, she presented an increasing of volume at the right scapular region. A radiography showed an osteolytic lesion of the scapula. In a biopsy an osseous hydatidosis was found and a hydatid cyst was extirpated from the soft tissues. Four years later, as she presented again pain and volume increasing in the same anatomical area, albendazole was given to her, and a CAT practiced revealed osteolytic lesions of the bone, several periosteal ruptures and multiple cysts in the muscles. She was submitted to surgery again in order to extirpate cysts. After two years the patient presented the same clinical manifestations and radiological and CAT images previously observed. In considering all these facts a radical surgery was decided.
