Abstract:
Chest wall cysts in general are uncommon. Among the pathologic processes that may involve the chest wall includes congenital/developmental, post-traumatic, post-treatment (surgery, radiotherapy etc.), infectious/inflammatory (e.g. tuberculosis) and neoplastic. The Chest wall is an unusual location for primary Echinococcus disease. We report a case of primary chest wall Hydatid Cyst (HC) in a 36-year-old woman who presented with left chest wall mass.
