“… 10 Multiple organs in hydatid cyst are involved in 10.3% of cases and the association liver-lung is described to be the most occurred (7.7%). 11 It was reported that the incidence of hydatid cysts with uncommon localization represents globally 7% and the cases involving soft tissue reach only 1% in pediatric population. 2 This low prevalence can be explained by muscular contractility and the presence of lactic acid making the growing of the cyst difficult.…”

The subcutaneous localization of the hydatid cyst in the abdominal wall is rarely encountered particularly in the pediatric population and is sometimes difficult to diagnose preoperatively. Here, we report the case of a 6-year-old boy who presented with two isolated episodes of low abundant hemoptysis and in whom a mass on the right lumbar region already considered as a lipoma was studied. Laboratory and radiological examinations were requested and the parietal cyst was surgically managed. The macroscopic and the pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of the hydatid disease and helped in identifying the nature of the thoracic lesion that disappeared spontaneously after two episodes of hydatid vomiting. Hydatid cyst should be considered as a diagnosis for any masses of the abdominal wall. Moreover, biopsy and partial resection of the mass must be avoided.

“…Serological tests are useful in supporting initial radiological diagnoses, even though not all patients show a measurable immune response [ 1 ]. Peripheral eosinophilia is seen in 20–34% of patients [ 18 ]. Eosinophilia is not a diagnostic measure because of its limited specificity [ 19 ].…”

“…In patients with multiorgan hydatid cysts, surgical removal of all cysts at the same time is recommended if possible. Treatment with mebendazole or albendazole also has very effective results in patients with multiple or inoperable cysts [13,14].…”
