Hydatid disease is a rare tapeworm infection that can cause the
formation of cysts in the liver and other organs. Although it is
uncommon for patients to have both hydatid cysts and cancer at the same
time, it is possible, and this can easily be confused with metastasis.
Proper management of hydatid cysts in a patient with cancer requires the
consensus of oncologists, hematologists, and infectious disease
specialists. According to a literature review and investigation of case
reports, the treatment approach depends on the stage of the cyst, and
chemotherapy management remains unchanged. It is crucial to follow
specific treatment guidelines for each stage of the cyst to ensure
proper treatment.
