Abstract EN
Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a parasitic zoonosis caused by E.
granulosus primarily affecting the liver and lungs.
CE of the bone is by far the most debilitating form of the disease and is very difficult to manage as it mimics malignant tumors.
We reviewed bone CE cases admitted to a reference oncological hospital in Kazakhstan from January 2010 to February 2017.
Among eight patients, the mean age was 33.5 years, and the male/female ratio was 1 : 3.
Patients were examined by X-ray (8/8), CT (7/8), and MRI (3/8).
CE was in the spine (2 cases), pelvis (3 cases), and long bones (humerus, tibia, and femur; one case for each).
All patients were treated surgically.
No perioperative albendazole was administered.
No patient received albendazole afterwards.
The mean hospital stay was 25 days.
Interventions are urgently needed to assess the burden of CE in Kazakhstan and to inform clinicians of the existence of the disease.
