“…The patient presented with right flank pain and fever, and a CT scan revealed multi-cystic lesions on the right flank, displaying a daughter cyst sign, which was suggestive of a hydatid cyst. 16 In the end, surgical treatment is essential for hydatid cysts. The preferred procedure is total cystectomy, which should be done carefully to avoid contamination of the surrounding area.…”

Key Clinical MessageHydatid cyst is a sly disease that can manifest with a spectrum of symptoms in almost every part of the human body, so it is crucial to be familiar with different scenarios that a patient may present.AbstractThe echinococcus granulosus parasite causes hydatid disease and is common in areas with animal husbandry and agriculture. Here, we report a middle age woman who presented with abdominal pain that further investigation revealed a cyst in subdiaphragmatic area.

This study presents a rare case of hydatid cyst (HC) located in the left thigh, an atypical site for this parasitic infection, which typically affects the liver and lungs. A 22-year-old female presented with a gradually increasing swelling in the anterior aspect of her left thigh over a period of six months. The diagnosis of the thigh HC was established through a combination of imaging techniques, including ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and serological tests. The patient underwent surgical removal of the cyst. We also highlight a management strategy for perioperative accidental rupture of the cyst to minimize the risk of dissemination and reduce the likelihood of recurrence. This report emphasizes the need for a careful multidisciplinary approach to ensure effective diagnosis and successful management of HC, particularly when they occur in atypical locations.

“…Hydatid cyst (HC), scientifically referred to as echinococcosis cyst, is considered to be one of the important zoonotic diseases and has significant public health importance due to the difficulties of the diagnosis [1]. It is a parasitic infection sourced from the cestode of the Taeniidae family [2,3]. These organisms exist in both definitive and intermediate hosts, thereby establishing a complex ecological interplay [3].…”

Hydatid cyst (HC) is a parasitic infection originating from the cestode of the Taeniidae family, predominantly occurring in the liver and lungs. Muscular involvement, however, remains a rarity. This report delineates the case of a 32-year-old female from Saudi Arabia presenting with a six-month history of an enlarging mass in her left thigh accompanied by significant localized pain. The clinical features were suggestive of an abscess, yet diagnostic imaging, specifically ultrasound, uncovered the presence of multiple daughter cysts within a primary lesion. MRI confirmed a well-defined encapsulated cystic mass. With an additional backdrop of a previously treated hepatic HC and living in proximity to a domestic cat, the clinical suspicion gravitated toward echinococcosis. Following surgical excision of the cystic lesion, histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of an infected HC. Postoperatively, the patient displayed an uneventful recovery with no recurrence or complications. This case underscores the diagnostic challenge posed by HC, especially in non-typical locations, and the pivotal role of imaging modalities in facilitating accurate diagnosis and subsequent management.
