Ultrasound of the thigh revealed an encapsulated multi-cystic lesion with an indistinct margin (arrowheads) or a well-defined hyperechoic wall (arrow) corresponding to a calcified, non-vital hydatid cyst

The most important differential diagnosis based on imaging findings was hydatid cyst (Figure 1 (Fig. 1)).
Postoperative view of the cystic mass, macroscopic sections; the cyst was filled with fragile particulate matter.

The cystic lesion was completely removed without damaging the cyst (Figure 2 (Fig. 2)).
Thigh hydatid cyst from outside to inside revealed skeletal muscular bundles, a collagen capsule and a fragmented, acellular laminated layer, as well as protoscoleces admixed with necrotic material; 100x, Hematoxylin & Eosin.

A review of the slides from resected cystic wall from exterior to interior showed skeletal muscular bundles, a collagen capsule containing a fragmented acellular laminated layer, and protoscoleces admixed with necrotic material (Figure 3 (Fig. 3), Figure 4 (Fig. 4), and Figure 5 (Fig. 5)).
Thigh hydatid cyst revealed a fragmented, acellular laminated layer, admixed with necrotic material; 200x, Hematoxylin & Eosin.
