Abstract
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic infection caused by Echinococcus granulosus that primarily affects the liver but can also affect the lung, spleen, heart, brain, muscle, bone, etc. The incidence of intramuscular cysts is 0.5-4.7%. It produces symptoms either due to a mass effect or complications. Treatment for incidentally detected and asymptomatic cases is anthelminthic therapy and surgery is reserved for drug failure cases and complicated cases. Here, we report an incidentally diagnosed case of a hydatid cyst in the anterior abdominal wall in a 10-year-old girl and evaluate the representative features that a prudent physician should be aware of.
