通常，肌肉内包虫病是继发性的，由其他部位的包虫病自发扩散或在其他部位包虫病手术后引起。我们提出一个不寻常的病例原发性包虫囊肿发现在左大腿的一个35岁的女人，表现为一个扩大的软组织肿瘤。超声、计算机断层扫描和磁共振成像检查显示左大腿前部有多室肌内囊肿，其他部位无病变。我们手术切除了整个囊肿，肉眼和显微组织病理学检查证实了肌包虫病的诊断。手术后三年无复发。在包虫病流行的地区，身体任何部位的肿瘤都应被认为是包虫病，除非有其他证据。
Usually, intramuscular hydatid cysts are secondary, resulting from the spread of cysts from other areas either spontaneously or after operations for hydatidosis in other regions. We present an unusual case of a primary hydatid cyst found in the left thigh of a 35-year-old woman, presenting as an enlarging soft-tissue tumour. Ultrasound, computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations revealed a multilocular intramuscular cyst in the anterior aspect of her left thigh, and no disease at any other location. We removed the entire cyst surgically, and macroscopic and microscopic histopathological examinations confirmed the diagnosis of muscular hydatidosis. Three years after the operation there had been no recurrence. In regions where hydatidosis is endemic, a tumour in any part of the body should be considered a hydatid cyst until proven otherwise.
