Primary hydatid disease of musculoskletal system is rare. A 60 year old woman presented with soft swelling in medial aspect of thigh, of long duration which was gradually increasing in size. She was initially diagnosed as lipoma of thigh, but ultrasonography revealed to be a cystic swelling suggestive of hydatid disease. MRI further reinforced the diagnosis. However serologic test (ELISA) was negative. Patient was given albendazole preoperatively. The swelling was removed en bloc and advised for adjunctive albendazole chemotherapy (15 mg/kg/day) for three months.

Hydatid disease is caused by Echinococcus granulosus a commonly encountered parasitic infection to humans in tropical countries. Humans are accidental intermediate hosts of Echinococcus. Liver is the most commonly infected organ. Any organ of the body can be affected but primary pelvic hydatid disease is rarely reported. Preoperative diagnosis can be established by imaging studies such as ultrasonography, computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Here, a case is reported of pelvic hydatid in a young female who presented with recurrent episodes of abdominal pain along with an abdominal mass. General physical examination and radiological evaluation confirmed a multiloculated cystic lesion in pelvic. Patient was subjected to laparotomy which confirmed the diagnosis of a primary pelvic hydatid disease.

“…Surgery is the treatment of choice in osseous echinococcosis, although it can only eliminate the macroscopic cysts and local recurrence is reported half of the patients. However, en bloc resection without inducing rupture and spreading the daughter cyst is recommended treatment strategy and accepted to be curative for intramuscular hydatid disease [2,4]. Puncture-aspiration-injection-reaspiration (PAIR) refers to an ultrasound guided technique consisting of puncture and evacuation of the contents of the hydatid cyst; injection of scolecidal agents such as 95% ethanol; and reaspiration of the contents of the cyst.…”

“…Primary skeletal muscle hydatid cyst without liver and lung involvement is rare even in endemic districts [1]. Currently, first treatment choice of muscular hydatid cyst is the combination of en bloc resection and albendazole chemotherapy [2]. On the other hand, puncture, aspiration, injection of scolicidal agent and reaspiration (PAIR) is a non-operative technique which is now widely used for the treatment of liver hydatid cyst [13].…”

Primary paraspinal hydatid cyst treated with puncture, aspiration, injection and re-aspiration (PAIR) technique: a case report

et al. 2008

Hydatid disease is a parasitic tapeworm infection that usually involves liver and lungs. Primary skeletal muscle hydatid cyst without liver and lung involvement is rare. En bloc resection without inducing rupture and spreading the daughter cyst is recommended treatment strategy and accepted to be curative for intramuscular hydatid cyst. We report a case of primary hydatid cyst of the erector spinae muscle which was treated successfully with ultrasonography guided puncture, aspiration, injection of 95% ethanol and re-aspiration (PAIR) technique.
