“…Hydatidosis is a disease that remains endemic in many countries in Asia, Africa, Middle East, Mediterranean and South America [2] . It is an anthropozoonosis fed by illegal slaughter of animals, failure to treat large numbers of stray dogs, and poor hygienic conditions as well as the lack of awareness.…”

“…The usual localization is often hepatic or pulmonary. Musculoskeletal involvement as a primary location, is rarely seen even in endemic countries with a frequency that does not exceed 5% [2] . This low rate is due to the liver detoxification function, to muscle contractions preventing larvae fixation, and to the secretion of lactic acid with a toxic action.…”

Hydatidosis is a worldwide infectious disease caused by the larval form of a parasitic tapeworm of helminths affecting mainly the liver and lungs in cattle- and sheep-raising regions. Muscle localization remains extremely rare and its diagnosis is sometimes challenging. We report the case of a 45-year-old man presenting with a swelling of the left thigh gradually increasing in size. Clinical examination was non-specific, sonographic evaluation suggested the diagnosis, and the patient underwent successful surgical treatment. Intramuscular hydatid cyst is an uncommon disease even in endemic countries, usually confused with other lesions which is a source of delayed treatment and fatal complications. MRI is the gold standard allowing diagnosis and providing the characteristic aspects which are of major importance for optimal management.

The primary hydatid disease in musculoskeletal position is not common, but maybe present in endemic areas. The human being is always an accidental host. We reported a 30 years adult male patient with trapezius muscle primary hydatidosis. He admitted with a complaint of large swelling right upper back for 2 years. The clinical diagnosis was a lipoma, but ultrasound suggested cystic changes in soft tissue tumor or lipoma and FNAC was inconclusive. Finally, the MRI report revealed hydatid cyst disease and diagnosis become clear with intraoperative findings as well as histopathology reports. We are reporting this case to show the very rare location of primary echinococcal cyst in trapezius muscle and challenging approach to diagnose this case with basic investigation.

Hydatid disease (HD), also known as echinococcal disease or echinococcosis, is a worldwide zoonosis with a wide geographic distribution. It can be found in almost all parts of the body and usually remains silent for a long period of time. Clinical history can be varied based on the location, size, host immune response, and complications.The most common imaging modalities used for diagnosis and further evaluations of HD are ultrasound, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Although conventional radiography may be the first used tool, rarely can lead to a definite judgment. Clinical indications and cyst location may alter the choice of imaging. MRI and CT would be useful when the involved area is inaccessible for ultrasound or surgical treatment is required. CT is particularly valuable for osseous organ involvements and the presence of calcifications in the cyst and also demonstrates the size, number, and local complications. MRI can differentiate HD from neoplasms in cases with an unusual appearance on imaging. Moreover, it is preferable in biliary or neural involvements. Besides, more detailed images of MRI and CT could help to resolve the diagnostic uncertainty.Imaging is the main stem for HD diagnosis. Brain, orbit, muscle, bone, and vascular structures are less commonly involved areas. Familiarity with typical clinical presentation, CT scan and MR imaging findings of HD in this sites facilitate the radiologic diagnosis and guiding appropriate treatment.
