Abstract

Usually intramuscular hydatid cysts are secondary, resulting from other areas either spontaneously or after surgery for hydatidosis in other regions. We present an unusual case of a primary hydatid cyst found in left chest wall of a 38-year-old woman, presenting as an enlarging soft tissue lump with pain which was diagnosed intraoperatively.
