Hydatid disease is a parasitic infection which occurs in specific geographical areas such as the Mediterranean region. We report a case of hydatid cyst of the knee in a 34-year-old man who was admitted with inability to walk and a painful knee. He had a past history of liver infection nine years ago. Laboratory findings were negative. According to the high prevalence of hydatid disease in Iran, it should be considered as a differential diagnosis of Baker's cyst, synovial cyst and lipoma.
包虫病是一种寄生虫感染,发生在特定的地理区域,如地中海地区。我们报告一例34岁男性膝部包虫囊肿病例,该患者因无法行走和膝关节疼痛入院。他9年前有肝脏感染病史。实验室检查结果为阴性。鉴于伊朗包虫病的高发病率,应将其视为贝克囊肿、滑膜囊肿和脂肪瘤的鉴别诊断。
