Abstract


 

We present a case of primary muscular hydatidosis in the anterior past of left thigh of a 66-year-old female patient.

The patient underwent a drainage of the same lesion 5 months ago. Upon admission to our clinic, the lesion was

drained again. Due to ongoing purulant leak cystic mass in the quadriceps femoris muscle that was demonstrated by

sonography, was excised. Histopathological examination established the diagnosis of cyst hydatid in the skeletal

muscle. Primary muscular hydatidosis is a rare disease and should be kept in mind in the diagnostic work-up of a

cystic mass of a skeletal muscle. After two years follow up the patient showed no evidence of recurrent hydatid

disease.
