ABSTRACT
Hydatid cyst is a common infestation caused by helminths in humans and usually involves the liver and lungs. Primarily, cases of hydatid cysts in the thigh muscles are extremely rare and are generally in the form of case reports. It is an important disease due to its insidious course, its confusion with other soft tissue pathologies, delay in diagnosis and painstaking surgery. In our study, the largest case series in the literature, the clinical stages of the diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of 9 hydatid cysts that develop primarily in the thigh muscles were evaluated. The risk of recurrence in primary hydatid cyst of the thigh can be reduced with rapid diagnosis, careful preoperative planning, complete surgical resection by avoiding cyst rupture and concomitant anthelmintic chemotherapy.
