Abstract
Learning Points N Psoas and thigh, although rare localizations, could represent the site of primary or secondary hydatidosis. N Muscular hydatidosis should always be considered in patients with previous history of such a disease, especially in cases of previous surgical dissemination. N A muscle-or nerve-sparing attempt should always be performed in cases of wide diffusion as well.Keywords
