Successful Pelvic Resection for Acetabular Hydatidosis.
Background: Hydatidosis of the bone is a rare occurrence (0.9 to 2.5% of all localization of the disease). In those occurrences, the pelvic bone is the second most frequent localization. Curative treatment of pelvic bone hydatidosis is difficult and a consensus is yet to be found.
Clinical Case: We report a case of hydatidosis of the ischium, extended to the homolateral hip. The patient was treated through hip resection using patient-specific cutting guides, followed by total hip reconstruction. Albendazole was administered to the patient for two months before the surgery and for three months following the surgery.
Conclusions: In a young patient, hydatidosis of the pelvic bone can be treated with satisfying results through wide resection of the hip coupled with an antiparasitic treatment administered before and after the surgery. Prosthetic reconstruction, similar to what is done in cancer surgery, restores good functions.
