Popis: Liver hydatid cyst fistulized in the abdominal wall is rare. The clinical symptoms were often misleading. It often poses a problem of seat diagnosis rather than a problem of its hydatid nature despite the great contribution of modern imagery. We reported this uncommon case to highlight the difficulties of preoperative diagnosis and a better operative approach. 46-year-old men consulted for right flank pain. The clinical exam revealed a right flank subcutaneous mass. An abdominal CT scan showed multicystic lesions on the right flank. The MRI showed multiple cystic lesions on the right flank with several endophytic and exophytic daughter cysts. The patient was operated on. A wide excision was adopted to remove all the cystic lesions. The postoperative follow-up was uneventful. Abdominal subcutaneous hydatid cysts cause a diagnostic problem and the treatment is controversial. Surgery remains the only curative treatment. It avoids the risk of complications such the fistula, infection, and rupture.
