Core Tip
Core tip: Hydatidosis is a global zoonosis. The most frequent organs affected are the liver (50%-70%) and the lungs (20%-30%) The duodenum is an organ that is very rarely affected by hydatidosis, either primarily or secondarily. Possible forms of secondary duodenal involvement are compression, or, more frequently, fistulization from hydatid cysts located in neighboring organs. The hydatid cysts that most often fistulize the duodenum are those located in the liver (0.15% of instances), with cases also described from the pancreas and kidney. Its low prevalence and the few existing records mean that the choice of the best therapeutic management is a challenge. A systematic review let readers know all published cases and best management.
