Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic infection caused by . Primary single-intramuscular hydatid disease is rare, even in endemic regions of the world. Here we report the case of exceptional thigh mass due to a hydatid cyst in an Iranian man. An 86-year-old man, initially presented to Velayat teaching hospital surgery clinic in May 2017 with a single right-thigh mass, but physical examinations of other organs were unremarkable. Based on sonographic findings, the differential diagnosis was hydatid cyst. He underwent surgical resection of the cyst. Histopathological results confirmed the diagnosis. There was no evidence of recurrence of the lesion during the 23-month follow-up. Increase thigh mass due to a hydatid cyst is a rare event. In endemic regions with the presence of hydatid cysts, especially physicians of surgical clinics have to consider differential diagnosis of hydatid cysts in unusual locations in case of such a lesion.
包虫囊肿是一种由……引起的人畜共患感染。原发性单发性肌肉内包虫病很罕见，即使在世界上的流行地区也是如此。在此，我们报告一例伊朗男性因包虫囊肿导致大腿出现异常肿块的病例。一名86岁男性于2017年5月首次到韦拉亚特教学医院外科门诊就诊，其右大腿有一个肿块，而对其他器官的体格检查未发现异常。根据超声检查结果，鉴别诊断为包虫囊肿。他接受了囊肿的手术切除。组织病理学结果证实了诊断。在23个月的随访期间，没有病变复发的迹象。因包虫囊肿导致大腿肿块增大是一种罕见情况。在有包虫囊肿的流行地区，尤其是外科门诊的医生，在遇到此类病变时，必须考虑对不寻常部位的包虫囊肿进行鉴别诊断。
