L’hydatidose ptérygoïdienne

Report of a hydatid cyst case with biceps brachii involvement

“…[5] However, some clinicians have reported primary involvements in other muscles as well. Psoas,[6] biceps femoris,[7] gluteus maximus,[6789] sartorius,[1011] soleus,[12] adductor magnus,[13] gluteus medius,[14] thoracic wall muscles,[15] pterygoids,[16] and supraspinatus[17] were a handful of examples of what we found in the databases for primary muscle infestations.…”

Abdominal wall Hydatid cyst: A review a literature with a case report

“…In spite of this, mechanical factors, like muscular contraction and chemical factors such as high lactic acid concentration in skeletal muscles may make encystment of the parasite in these tissues less likely [6]. Nevertheless, some cases of HC disease at various muscles have been reported in literature, such as, sartorius [7] biceps brachii [8] diaphragm [9] thoracic wall [10] gluteus [11], supraspinatus [12], pterygoideus [13], and soleus muscles [14]. Primary HC of abdominal wall musculature is a very rare disease, up to date; only 6 cases have been reported.…”

Abdominal Wall Hydatid Cyst: Case Report and Review of Literature

“…In addition, it has been postulated that the higher lactic acid concentration in skeletal muscle and mechanical factors, such as contractile activity, may make encystment less likely [3]. Nevertheless, some cases of primary muscular hydatidosis at various sites have been reported, that is, biceps brachii [4] thoracic wall [5], sartorius [6, 7], supraspinatus [8], gluteus [9], pterygoideus [10], and soleus muscles [11], whereas only few cases of primary subcutaneous hydatidosis have been reported [12]. …”
