Although common in sheep-breeding communities, hydatid disease is actually found worldwide. Man is an occasional intermediate host in whom the disease is manifested by the presence of one or more hydatid cysts, usually located in the liver or lung and rarely at other sites such as the breast, as in our patient. A case of an isolated breast involvement that was diagnosed during surgery is presented and is followed by a brief discussion on the topic.
尽管包虫病在养羊社区很常见，但实际上在全球范围内都有发现。人类是偶尔的中间宿主，在人类身上，这种疾病表现为存在一个或多个包虫囊肿，通常位于肝脏或肺部，很少出现在其他部位，如我们的患者那样出现在乳房。本文介绍了一例在手术中被诊断出的孤立性乳房受累病例，并随后对该主题进行了简要讨论。
