Cystic echinococcosis (CE), also known as "hydatid disease" (HD), is a zoonotic infection caused by the larval stage of Echinococcus granulosus, which infects humans as intermediate hosts through the orofecal route. Carried by the intestinal venous blood, the embryos released by the eggs of the tapeworms can reach every organ, especially the liver, turning into a hydatid cyst. Usually asymptoma...

Occasionally few embryos run away the capillary filtrating systems of the liver and pulmonary and lead to hydatidosis of Peripheral organ. This case report expresses an uncommon case of subcutaneous hydatid cyst in the left thigh in child. Based on manuscript search, few cases are presented.
