| Abstract: | Primary hydatid disease of the skeletal muscle without systemic involvement is rare. Since the infection appears on clinical examination to be a soft-tissue tumor. It is important to have a preoperative radiological evaluation, particularly with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to avoid biopsy or improper cyst management during surgery. We present a unique case of a primary hydatid cyst manifesting as an expanding soft-tissue mass in a 31-year-old woman''s left thigh with magnetic resonance imaging revealed a very suggestive aspect of hydatid cyst in the adductor muscles and shows the interaction between cysts and nearby structures. The cyst was surgically removed, and macroscopic and microscopic histopathological examinations confirmed the diagnosis of muscular hydatidosis. |
