Abstract

Primary hydatid disease of the chest wall is extremely rare. We report a case of a primary chest wall hydatid cyst in a 72-year old woman who had not been operated on before for hydatid disease. Chest wall hydatid disease should be considered in the differential diagnosis of chest wall mass.
