Hydatid disease (HD) can arise in any part of the body. Breast involvement with HD is extremely rare; it can be isolated or secondary to disseminated hydatidosis. In this study, we present a 45-year-old female with HD located in the right breast without pulmonary or hepatic involvement. Ultrasonography revealed a multiloculated cystic mass; mammography showed a homogeneous, dense, well-circumsc...

Cystic hydatid disease is a zoonosis caused by infection with the larval cysts of Echinococcus granulosus. Cysts commonly develop in the liver and lungs. Diagnosis in non-endemic regions is often delayed due to a failure to consider hydatidosis. This results from a non-specific presentation and a failure to record an accurate geographical history. The diagnosis requires integrating an appropria...

Hydatid cyst has a predilection to locate in liver, lungs, and brain. Intrathoracic extrapulmonary locations are generally the mediastinum, pleura, pericardium and chest wall. Pleural involvement usually follows the rupture of a pulmonary or hepatic cyst inside the pleural space causing secondary pleural hydatidosis. Radiological investigations of a patient suffering from cough and dyspnea reve...
