“…Although US is a reliable method for detecting echinococcal cysts, CT can define unique characteristics of hydatid cysts and also reveals the site, relationship to adjacent organs and additional small unsuspected lesions. 9,10 The specific radiological findings of hydatid cyst are thick cyst wall, calcifications, daughter cysts, and a germinative membrane separated from the cyst wall. 4,5,7 Preoperative diagnosis of musculoskeletal E. granulosis infection is difficult clinically and radiologically as it may resemble any soft tissue tumor.…”

Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation caused by Echinococcusgranulosus. It occurs frequently in liver and lung. Hydatid disease of the soft tissue is uncommon. In this paper, we report a case of a primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst in the thigh. We report a case of a 45-year-old female who presented to our hospital with a painless subcutaneous mass in the medial aspect of the right thigh for one year. Computed tomography scan demonstrated a subcutaneous cystic lesion close to adductor magnus muscle. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst was suspected peroperatively, complete surgical excision of the mass was done and the patient had an uneventful post-operative recovery. The suspected diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination. This case shows that hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any cystic mass at different anatomical sites, especially in endemic regions. Total excision of the cyst with an intact wall remains the mainstay of treatment.

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.

“…However, serology tests are less reliable because of high false-negative and false-positive results in up to 15% to 20% cases. The main way to treat and eradicate hydatid cyst is surgery [6,7]. Unusual locations can cause various symptoms and lead to misdiagnosis or delay in diagnosis and threat patients' health conditions [8].…”

Hydatid cyst is a significant health-threatening problem that can affect almost all organs, especially the lungs and the liver, but the possibility of its occurrence in organs such as the spleen or pelvic cavity is rare. Thus, simultaneous hydatid cysts in the spleen and pelvic cavity are probably very rare. Nevertheless, since hydatid cysts in different areas can cause various symptoms, it should be considered a significant diagnosis. This article presents a case report of a 21-year-old woman presenting with right lower quadrant abdominal pain mimicking appendicitis but found to have simultaneous hydatid cysts in the spleen and the pelvic cavity.
