Hydatid cyst (HC) disease is a serious health problem in endemic areas. It is a parasitic infection that commonly involves liver and lungs while muscular HC is rare. HC of abdominal wall was reported only six times. We reported a 75-year-old women presented with HC of the right side Ultrasound and CECT abdomen showed a subcutaneous cyst.
