Abstract
Hydatidosis is an anthropozoonosis, it is due to the development in humans of a cestod transmitted by the dog. Muscle localization is rare. Ultrasound and MRI are sufficient examinations to establish the diagnosis. We report the case of a women patient living in a rural environment in contact with dogs, the MRI reveals an hydatic cyst encompassing the three thigh boxes, she received surgical excision and antihelmintics before and after surgery.
