Rana Dhouib , Naoui Marwa , Khalil Ben Salah , Jihen Krichen , Timoumi Maissa
Hydatid cysts are zoonotic infections caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus. While the liver and lungs are the primary organs affected by these parasitic cysts, subcutaneous involvement is relatively rare, with an estimated incidence of up to 3%. In this report, we present the case of a 45-year-old Tunisian man diagnosed with a subcutaneous intermuscular hydatid cyst.
