The radiological differential diagnoses ranged from infections to tumors and tumor-like lesions. The spinal lesions were osteolytic and were diagnosed as tuberculosis, aneurysmal bone cyst, hemangioma, and metastasis, on imaging. The femoral lesions were diagnosed either as fibrous dysplasia or as primary cystic bone lesions. The pelvic lesions mimicked cystic angiomatosis, giant cell tumor, low-grade chondrosarcoma, and tuberculosis. Histopathologic examination revealed characteristic acellular lamellated membranes in all the cases. Following diagnosis, all the patients underwent anti-helmenthic treatment after the histopathological diagnosis. One patient with ankle joint involvement underwent talocalcaneal fusion followed by below-knee amputation and in another patient the affected femoral segment was excised with fibular graft reconstruction. Recurrence was noted in two patients with lesions in the spine and talocalcaneal joint, respectively.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This study emphasizes upon the need to consider hydatid disease in the list of differential diagnosis of osteolytic lesions of the bone.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.4103\/ijpm.ijpm_798_25","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,16]],"date-time":"2026-04-16T05:00:09Z","timestamp":1776315609000},"page":"253-262","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Osseous hydatidosis - A diagnostic mimic and a therapeutic challenge: Clinicopathological and radiological features of 21 cases from India"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Shantveer G.","family":"Uppin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Nizam\u2019s Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Monalisa","family":"Hui","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Nizam\u2019s Institute of Medical Sciences, Hyderabad, Telangana, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bharat","family":"Rekhi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pathology, Tata Memorial Hospital, Homi Bhabha National Institute, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"K.
