“…The clinical manifestation of the disease is a result of the localization and pressure effect of the slowly growing cyst on the infected organ. The main complaints of patients have been pain and sense of malaise [1,3,5,6]. As in our case, clinical findings and physical examination did not reveal the correct diagnosis.…”

“…Although imaging methods usually exhibit nonspecific findings, they may be helpful for making the diagnosis. Ultrasonography, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging can imaging the association of the cyst with neighboring tissues, the internal laminar wall of the cyst, and intraluminal daughter cysts [1,[5][6][7]. As in our case, the diagnosis was missed in the CT scan of the neck and chest and the mass was reported as a simple cystic structure.…”

“…ELISA is 80-100% sensitive and 88-96% specific for hydatid liver disease but less sensitive for lung (50-56%) or other organ involvement (25-26%) [3]. Hydatid serology is only valuable when it is positive, negative serology does not exclude the diagnosis [4]. Serologic test (ELISA) was negative in this case.…”

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.

“…If it is impossible to excise a large cyst en-block, the cyst has to be drained intraoperatively, irrigated with a scolecidal agent and then partially excised. Rupture of cyst wall increases the likelihood of recurrent infestation [6].…”

A 28-year-old male patient presented with a recurrent swelling in the left lateral chest wall just below the left axilla since seven years. Patient was operated for the same swelling eight years back and its biopsy report showed hydatid cyst. Patient had not taken any antihelminthic post operatively. Based on this, diagnosis of recurrent subcutaneous hydatid cyst was made and total cystectomy was done. Post operatively patient was started on albendazole. On follow up of one year there is no recurrence. Hydatid cyst is caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus. Four species of the Echinococcus tapeworm can produce infection in humans. E. granulosus and E. multilocularis are the most common, causing cystic and alveolar echinococcosis respectively, while E. vogeli and E. oligarthrus have rarely been associated with human infection. Hydatid cyst of the subcutaneous is extremely rare. This case report highlights the rare location of the hydatid cyst as well its recurrence in rare location.

Primary subcutaneous cyst hydatic disease in proximal thigh: an unusual localisation: a case report

Abstract: Background: Musculoskeletal hydatidosis is very rare and represents 1% -5.4% of all cases of echinococcosis. On clinical basis, infection mimics a soft-tissue tumor, and the preoperative radiological diagnosis is very important to avoid biopsy.
