“…The gold standard management of isolated hydatid cyst disease of the breast is surgical excision. 1,5 Incidental spillage and implantation may be restrained by irrigation of the cyst bed with hypertonic saline. 5 Moreover, it has been established that chemoprophylaxis before and after the surgical excision with mebendazole helps minimize the relapse of cyst formation.…”

Our study is relevant because our report adds further light on diagnosing and treating the isolated primary hydatid cyst disease of the breast. The purpose of this case report is to educate physicians and health care workers to keep this condition in the differential diagnosis of the breast lump even though the breast is a rare site of primary hydatid disease even in the endemic areas. Awareness of this entity can help in arriving at a pre-operative diagnosis, even without cytological examination, which is important in the management of the cyst.This is the first of its kind case being reported from Pakistan.

“…Protoscolices, hooklets, and laminated membranes of E. granulosus can be identified in FNAC without complications [ 19 , 20 ]. Treatment of the breast hydatid cyst is cystectomy with pericystectomy to protect rupture and reinfestation in addition to Albandazole for further prevention [21] . Our case report suggests to add breast hydatid cyst to the differential diagnoses of breast lumps especially in endemic regions and to exclude hydatid cyst before any surgical intervention to avoid undesirable complications.…”

“…The last but the most important issue regarding this article is that it is a duplication. Probably, unintentionally, authors have sent the manuscript to two separate journals and both have published the same case report [ 1 , 6 ]. We believe that our commentary should be published in order to write down this notice to the literature.…”
