“…Before surgical excision or biopsy, diagnosis of Echinococcosis should be excluded to avoid leakage of cyst contents [7]. The differential diagnosis in these cases must include malignant soft tissue tumours such as myxoid liposarcoma, soft tissue abcesses, and chronic hematoma [9].…”

Hydatid disease is a cyclo-zoonotic parasitic infection mainly affecting liver and lung. Primary hydatid cyst in the muscle is very rare and is usually secondary, resulting either from the spread of cysts spontaneously or after surgery. Here, we report a case of primary hydatid cyst within brachialis muscle, with emphasis on the fact that it should be included in the differential diagnosis of peripheral cystic mass to avoid invasive investigations like FNAC. It results in better patient management because leakage of the cyst contents may not only result in recurrence and dissemination, but may also cause anaphylaxis and subsequent surgical resection difficult.

Hydatid disease has a worldwide distribution and causes health problems in endemic countries. The prevalence of primary muscular hydatid disease is reported to be only 0.5% because muscle is an unfavorable site for infestation as a result of its high levels of lactic acid. Primary intramuscular hydatid cyst presents a diagnostic problem not only because of the unusual location and low prevalence, but also because complicated cysts may imitate solid or complex lesions.We report an unusual case of primary hydatidosis of the calf muscles, in which a wide excision was performed without causing any damage to the cyst wall. Injudicious approach in the management of these rare presentations may be the root cause of severe anaphylactic shock and systemic dissemination. Intramuscular hydatid cysts grow gradually and may mimic a soft tissue tumor; thus, the diagnosis of soft-tissue hydatid cysts needs a high index of suspicion.
