Abstract
Cystic hydatid disease is caused by the Echinococcus granulosus parasite. Most frequently, cysts develop in liver and lung. The breast is rarely a primary site of the hydatid cyst. A case of hydatid cyst of the breast is presented, the diagnosis of which was missed both pre-operatively and intra-operatively.Entities:
