“…The signs and symptoms of the hydatid disease vary according to the involved organ, the site, the effects on the adjacent tissues, complications after rupture, secondary infection, and immunological reactions (8). The first and most common symptom in our patient was a slowgrowing painless mass, and this symptom was compatible with the literature.…”

Introduction: Hydatid disease, known since Hippocrates' time, is still a serious trouble. Intramuscular hydatid cyst is extremely rare, at less than 1% of all locations. We describe herein a patient with an intramuscular hydatid cyst that has a very low chance of being experienced outside endemic areas by many physicians. Case Report: A 64-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a six-month history of a painless slow-growing mass in his left hemithorax. Upon physical examination, there was a 6 × 4.5-cm, non-tender, mobile, smoothly outlined mass on the left latissimus dorsi muscle. Radiological assessments revealed two cystic pulmonary nodules in the right inferior lobe and no other organ involvement. The patient underwent a two-step surgery. Diagnosis was verified on histopathological examination. After the operation, medical treatment with albendazole (10 mg/kg/day) for three months was prescribed. Conclusion: Hydatid disease can be found in any skeletal muscle or, indeed, anywhere in the body. Due to its rarity and unusual location, diagnosis can be missed easily in a busy and crowded ER. Hydatid disease should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of all soft tissue lesions, even though they located in the muscle, particularly in endemic zones such as Turkey.

Highlights Hydatid cyst is fairly common in endemic areas & can involve any part of the body. Involvement of Pectoralis major muscle is rare. Ultrasound and CT scan help in diagnosing them. Most of the times, surgery is the usual treatment modality, followed by irrigation with a scolicidal agent. A course of albendazole should be prescribed after surgery.

“…Rarely, the involvement of the chest or abdominal wall after liver cysts rupture, which may be challenging to manage. Most of the authors[ 2 3 4 5 ] have reported some treatment principles or operation methods about the liver hydatid associated with diaphragm or lung invaded. But no article has elaborated how to deal with the invaded and incomplete diaphragm muscle if the patient has a significant defect located in the diaphragm.…”
