“…We performed hemagglutination test in our patient and the result was positive. Abdominal and chest X-rays, ultrasound and CT scans should be performed in order to investigate various organ involvements, particularly liver and lungs [3]. Eroglu et al reported an unusual case of hydatid cyst found in the neck of a 66-year-old Turkish woman, and just like our case report, there was no pulmonary or hepatic involvement [8].…”

“…Moreover, they can cross the hepatic sinusoid or pulmonary capillary barriers, and embryos get into systemic circulation and can settle in all the organs and structures in the body [1, 4]. Hydatid cyst is most frequently involved in the liver and lungs, and rarely in the bone, brain, eye, heart, kidney and spleen [3]. It is extremely rare in the cervicofacial region, and its incidence is unknown [5].…”

“…In humans the hydatid disease commonly involves the liver (70%) and the lungs (25%) [2]. The spleen, kidneys, bile ducts, mesentery, heart, brain and muscluloskeletal or soft tissue are less frequent sites of the involvement in hydatid disease [2, 3]. Its symptoms may emerge depending on the host organ, location, its effect on adjacent structures, complications due to rupture, secondary infections, and immunological reactions caused by the cyst [2].…”

Hydatid disease, also known as echinococcosis or hydatidosis, is an infectious disease caused by the cestode Echinococcus. Echinococcus granulosus is the most common Echinococcus species affecting human beings. It may affect any organ and tissue in the body, in particular the liver and lung. Musculoskeletal or soft tissue hydatidosis accounts for about 0.5% 5% of all echinococcal infections in endemic areas, and is almost always secondary to the hepatic or pulmonary disease. Even in regions where echinococcosis is endemic, hydatidosis of cervicofacial region is extremely rare. Herein, we present exceptionally rare case with an unusual localization of primary hydatid cyst in the left supraclavicular region of the neck.KeywordsHydatid cyst; Supraclavicular region; Neck; Unusual localization

Introduction: Hydatid disease, known since Hippocrates' time, is still a serious trouble. Intramuscular hydatid cyst is extremely rare, at less than 1% of all locations. We describe herein a patient with an intramuscular hydatid cyst that has a very low chance of being experienced outside endemic areas by many physicians. Case Report: A 64-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a six-month history of a painless slow-growing mass in his left hemithorax. Upon physical examination, there was a 6 × 4.5-cm, non-tender, mobile, smoothly outlined mass on the left latissimus dorsi muscle. Radiological assessments revealed two cystic pulmonary nodules in the right inferior lobe and no other organ involvement. The patient underwent a two-step surgery. Diagnosis was verified on histopathological examination. After the operation, medical treatment with albendazole (10 mg/kg/day) for three months was prescribed. Conclusion: Hydatid disease can be found in any skeletal muscle or, indeed, anywhere in the body. Due to its rarity and unusual location, diagnosis can be missed easily in a busy and crowded ER. Hydatid disease should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis of all soft tissue lesions, even though they located in the muscle, particularly in endemic zones such as Turkey.
