Abstract

Hydatid disease is a parasitic disease that is endemic in many parts of the world, especially in South America, the Middle East, Africa, Australia, and the Mediterranean region, including Turkey. This article presents an unusual case of subcutaneous hydatid cyst in the right medial side of the thigh. According to our world literature search, few cases are reported. This site of localization is very rarely diagnosed on ultrasonography.
