Abstract


 

A 9 cm cystic mass located in the left gluteal region of a 28-year-old man was operated with a presumptive diagnosis of soft tissue abscess. Operative findings and pathological examination confirmed that the mass was a hydatid cyst. Hydatid cyst must be taken into consideration in the evaluation of soft tissue masses where the infestation is endemic. [Journal of Turgut Özal Medical Center 1997;4(2):212-214]

KeyWords : Soft tissue mass, hydatid cyst, Echinococcosis, abscess
