Primary Psoas Muscle Hydatid Cyst: A Case Report of a Rare Pathology

While hydatid cysts typically involve the hepatic system, extra-hepatic manifestations have rarely been reported. Of these cases, psoas muscle involvement remains exceedingly rare. Hydatid cyst in unusual locations is often found incidentally. In addition to surgery, which is the primary treatment for hydatid illness, anti-parasitic drugs known as benzimidazoles should also be used to treat hydatid cysts. The numerous sites and possible problems must be known to the treating surgeons. Pre-operative radiography is essential because it aids in the detection of the cyst, allows for its assessment as a differential diagnosis, and defines the treatment plan to prevent fatal outcomes. We describe an interesting case of a psoas hydatid cyst with an esoteric surgical approach.
