The musculo-skeletal site is infrequent accounting for 0.7\u20133% cases of all cases resulting from direct implantation of oncospheres more often than hematic dissemination.<\/ns3:p>\n                  <ns3:p>\n                    We report the case of an 18-year-old female student who visited our hospital because of a swelling in the posteroexternal aspect of the left thigh that had grown during the previous six months and had become tender in the previous month with setup of fever three days before admission. Superficial ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a cystic mass of the posterior compartment of the thigh developed within the short chief of the biceps femoris. Serology for hydatid cyst was positive. The diagnosis of an infected hydatid cyst was suspected preoperatively, and the patient was given antibiotics and anthelminthic treatment. The cyst was then completely excised and the histopathologic exam confirmed the hydatic origin. The patient was put on oral anti-helminthics and has been on regular follow up for last twelve months with no evidence of recurrence.\n                    <ns3:bold\/>\n                  <\/ns3:p>\n                  <ns3:p>Hydatidosis rarely occurs in the soft tissues and the diagnosis is challenging particularly when it is secondary infected. Hydatid serology provides certainty in the diagnosis of echinococcosis when it is positive. When it\u2019s negative, imaging (Ultrasound, Computed tomography (CT) and Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)) may be an approach for making the diagnosis revealing the most characteristic features of hydatid cyst.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.53651.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,10]],"date-time":"2021-08-10T14:35:31Z","timestamp":1628606131000},"page":"786","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Case Report: Infected primary hydatid cyst of the thigh"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Myriam","family":"Jrad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3456-6240","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haifa","family":"Zlitni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hakim","family":"Zouari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miriam","family":"Boumediene","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-4607-5917","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ines","family":"Soussi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Meriem","family":"Bouzrara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","first-page":"307-12","article-title":"Les localisations inhabituelles du kyste hydatique a propos de 40 cas.","volume":"126","author":"F Abi","year":"1989","journal-title":"J Chir."},{"key":"ref3","first-page":"126-30","article-title":"Skeletal muscle hydatid cysts presenting as soft tissue masses.","volume":"14","author":"N Gougoulias","year":"2010","journal-title":"Hippokratia."},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"267-71","DOI":"10.1016\/S0035-1040(05)84313-2","article-title":"Kyste hydatique musculaire.","volume":"91","author":"M Mseddi","year":"2005 May","journal-title":"Revue de Chirurgie Orthop\u00e9dique et R\u00e9paratrice de l\u2019Appareil Moteur."},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"108-10","DOI":"10.1016\/j.anorl.2011.08.001","article-title":"Isolated hydatid cyst of the neck: An unusual site.","volume":"129","author":"M Hmidi","year":"2012 Apr","journal-title":"Eur Ann Otorhinolaryngol Head Neck Dis."},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"184-7","article-title":"L\u2019hydatidose primitive des muscles p\u00e9riph\u00e9riques.","volume":"59","author":"A Lamine","year":"1993","journal-title":"A propos de 7 cas.
