Primary Hydatid Cyst in Paravertebral Muscle(A Case Report)

Hydatid disease is a common parasitic disease, caused by the tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus, it generally involves the liver and lung. Any other organ may be involved but is usually secondary to visceral infection. Musculoskeletal hydatidosis is very rare and represents 1%-5.4% of all cases. Treatment is surgical excision, but medical treatment with antihelmentics maybe useful in the endemic areas; physicians must be familiar with diagnosis and treatment of this disease and its different presentations. In this report, we present a case of primary hydatid cyst in paravertebral muscles as a rare presentation of this disease.
