| Popis: |
This case presents a hydatid cyst of the thigh in a 57-year-old patient born and raised in rural Montenegro. He presented with a painful erythematous mass on the lateral aspect of the right thigh at the site of a previous cystic mass resection 13 years earlier. Complete surgical resection was conducted, histopathology revealed laminated membranes and polymerase chain reaction was positive for Echinococcus granulosus. Primary musculoskeletal hydatidosis is a rare entity and diagnosis is challenging. Any cystic lesion in a patient from an endemic area should raise the possibility of echinococcosis, regardless of anatomic location. The key aspects of diagnosis, albendazole treatment and surgical management are discussed. |
