Isolated breast hydatid cyst: A case report

Abstract

Key Clinical Message A hydatid cyst is a parasitic infestation most frequently caused by the larval tapeworm known as Echinococcus granulosus. Breast hydatidosis is a very uncommon condition that may be the main site or one of its components in cases of extensive hydatidosis. We discussed a 28‐year‐old female patient who had been experiencing left breast pain for a year prior to her presentation.
