RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Features of low tension in breast hydatid cyst and symptoms secondary to cyst dying and disintegration are unique and not yet reported in the literature. MATERIAL AND METHOD: An young woman of 30 years complained about pain and vague swelling in the right breast during follow-up with albendazole therapy following second laparotomy for post-surgical residual cavity of hydatid cyst in the left lobe of the liver. Breast ultrasound was diagnostic. RESULTS: Segmental breast excision revealed a large dead hydatid cyst. Postoperative course was uneventful. CONCLUSIONS: Breast hydatid cyst may become symptomatic and hypotensive after start of albendazole therapy.
