We present a rare case of primary muscular hydatidosis in the left thigh of a 40-year-old female patient. US, CT and MR imaging showed a typical multilocular hydatid cyst deep in the vastus intermedius and vastus medialis muscles. Histopathological examination, which followed surgical excision, established the diagnosis of echinococcus cyst.
