hydatid cyst locates in the liver (70%), lungs (25%) and rarely in other body tissues. cases with gluteal muscle localized hydatid cyst are rarely seen in literature. in this case report, a woman with hydatid cyst that was located in gluteal muscle was discussed. after the patient had been diagnosed, complete surgical excision was performed with the patient. albendazole treatment was applied in...

An unusual case of saphenous neuropathy secondary to compression by a large hydatid cyst within the adductor longus muscle is reported. Solitary hydatid cyst(s) localized in the skeletal muscles occur rarely and often mimic soft tissue tumours. Presentation with signs of peripheral nerve compression by a hydatid cyst in an extremity is exceedingly rare. Diagnosis can be established by ultrasoun...

Hydatid cyst of spleen is a rare condition compared to hydatid cyst of other organs. It ranges from 0.5-4.0 % of abdominal hydatid cyst. The most common sites for hydatid cyst are the liver (60-70%) and lung (10-40%). The first filter of hydatid cyst is liver followed by lung which acts as a second filter. The other rare sites of hydatid cyst are spleen, thyroid, gall bladder, central nervous s...

The sartorius muscle is a rare location of primary hydatid cyst. In this report, the clinical, pathologic, and radiologic features are discussed, with special emphasis on the pathologic and radiographic features. We report a case of hydatid cyst of the proximal thigh in an eight-year-old girl. Magnetic resonance (MR) images revealed muscular hydatid cyst in the sartorius muscle, with a striking...

Primary muscle hydatidosis is very rare, accounting for less than 1% of hydatid cyst locations, and the gluteus muscle location is exceptional. The objective of this study is to report an exceptional location of hydatid cyst of the gluteus muscle presented like a tumor in the buttock region. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful in diagnosis, it represents the best test for hydatid cysts ...

The hydatid cyst of the diaphragm is defined as the development of a hydatid cyst in the diaphragm muscle. The purpose of this study is to identify the specific pathogenic, clinical and therapeutic aspects of this hydatid cyst. It is important to confirm the diagnosis of the location before surgery.

Psoas muscle is a rare location for hydatid disease. Here we present a case of infected hydatid cyst left psoas muscle presenting as left flank pain, fever, local flank tenderness, and raised blood counts. Pre-operative diagnosis was made by Ultrasonography (USG) and Computed Tomography (CT) abdomen, although serology for hydatid disease was negative.
