Abstract:
Primary muscle hydatidosis is very rare, accounting for less than 1% of hydatid cyst locations. Clinical symptoms are insidious and non-specific causing a frequent delay in diagnosis. Intramuscular hydatid disease can cause a variety of diagnostic problems, especially in the absence of typical radiologic findings. We report the observation of an 82-year-old man consulting for inguinal tumefaction with radiological exploration suggestive of hydatid cyst of the adductors muscles. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is helpful in diagnosis, since it reveals a very suggestive aspect and demonstrates the relationship between cysts and adjacent structures. Treatment of muscle echinococcosis is based on surgery, which is curative and incurs a low risk of local relapse.

Muscles that Move the Thigh
Three other significant muscles are the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus. The gluteus maximus originates from the posterior surface of the ilium, sacrum, and coccyx, and the thoracolumbar fascia...
