“…These patients are usually asymptomatic but some time present with chest wall pain [2] as our patient complaint was chest wall pain and swelling. In the presented patient, imaging modalities such as contrast enhanced CT scan revealed a multi loculated mass lesion with septations and enhancement over visceral pleura at the posterior side of thorax and the differential diagnosis of such a radiographic picture includes giant cell tumor, osteolytic metastases, plasmacytoma, aneurysmal bone cyst and cystic neuro fibromas [5].…”

Background: Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation of the humans that caused by echinococcus granulosus and can produce tissue cyst everywhere in body. The most common locations for development of a parasitic cyst are the liver (75%) and the lung (15%). Skeletal involvement in eccinococcal infection is a relatively rare condition and is seen in only 1-4% of cases and few reports from the medical literature have presented rib hydatidosis which clinically mimics benign or malignant cystic tumors at initial presentation and because of its unusual presentation, its diagnosis may easily be missed. Case presentation:A 19-year-old Iranian male patient presented with a 7-month history of a painful chest wall mass. Computed tomography and chest X-Ray showed a mediastinal and chest wall mass with rib erosion. The surgery allowed both diagnosis and treatment. The patient underwent a right posterolateral thoracotomy. Daughter cysts were seen when the lesion was incidentally opened. Cystic portion of mediastinal and chest wall mass and involved rib was resected. The mass histologically diagnosed as hydatid cyst. Albendazol (800mg daily) was administered for three months postoperatively. The patient was discharged at postoperative 5th day in a state of complete recovery. Follow up at 1 year postoperatively demonstrated no recurrence of the chest wall mass. Conclusion:Primary chest wall hydatid cyst is an extremely unusual condition and should be included in the differential diagnosis of chest wall masses especially in endemic areas.

“…which can be revealed by apparent parietal mass, bone hydatidosis, especially with spinal involvement, is uncommon and remains asymptomatic for a long time. In symptomatic cases, malignant disease is often suspected (8,9). The diagnosis should be suspected when dealing with patients from rural areas or with a history of hydatidosis.…”

“…In costal involvement, the best surgical treatment is, according to many teams, the complete surgical excision of the invaded ribs (8,12). This treatment requires a resection of the entire reached area containing hydatidosis by cutting the ribs in healthy parts away from lesions.…”

“…Hydatid cysts can be encountered in all tissues and organs, but occurrence in the chest wall, ribs, and sternum is extremely rare; intrathoracic extrapulmonary hydatid cysts occur in 7.4% of cases (4,5,11,12).…”
