Cystic echinococcosis (CE), stemming from the larval stage of the cestode , stands as a widespread parasitic zoonosis primarily afflicting the liver and lungs. However, instances in the inguinal region are exceptionally infrequent. We present a distinctive case involving a 49-year-old female with a progressively enlarging inguinal mass over a five-year period, characterized by the absence of hepatic or pulmonary involvement. This case underscores the unique clinical presentation and diagnostic intricacies associated with extrahepatic and extrapulmonary expressions of CE. The presented case contributes to advancing our comprehension of unconventional hydatid disease presentations, highlighting the imperative for a multidisciplinary approach in both diagnosis and treatment. Ongoing research endeavors and collaborative efforts are pivotal for refining strategies and enhancing outcomes in patients with rare manifestations such as inguinal hydatid cysts.
囊性棘球蚴病（CE）源于绦虫的幼虫阶段，是一种广泛传播的寄生虫人畜共患病，主要影响肝脏和肺部。然而，腹股沟区的病例极为罕见。我们报告了一例独特病例，一名49岁女性，其腹股沟肿块在五年内逐渐增大，其特点是无肝脏或肺部受累。该病例强调了与CE肝外和肺外表现相关的独特临床表现和诊断复杂性。该病例有助于增进我们对非传统包虫病表现的理解，突出了在诊断和治疗中采用多学科方法的必要性。正在进行的研究努力和合作对于完善策略以及改善腹股沟包虫囊肿等罕见表现患者的治疗效果至关重要。
