ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
No previous systematic reviews about hydatidosis of the colon exist. Very few papers devoted to this topic has been published.
Research motivation
We try to resume previous literature in order to clarify incidence, diagnostic procedures and management of hydatidosis of the colon.
Research objectives
The objectives were not reached. Only few case reports are published so no evidence based medicine could be reached.
Research methods
We perform a systematic review of the literature following PRISMA guidelines.
Research results
No real data about incidence. Abdominal pain is the most common symptom. CT is the best diagnostic tool. Colectomy or suture of the fistula are the surgical procedures usually performed.
Research conclusions
No evidence based medicine data about the topic was obtained. No clear data about if there is a low incidence of hydatidosis of the colon or a huge number of undiagnosed cases because they are asymptomatic. We suggest that low incidence perhaps occur due to the soft wall of the colon could be pushed without causing clinical symptoms. Resuming the previous literature let readers know some data about previous cases and their management.
Research perspectives
Only prospective multicentre studies made in endemic areas could let us know more about this unfrequent topic.
