Abstract: Parietal hydatid cysts are an exceptional location for hydatid disease, which remains a major public health problem worldwide, affecting approximately 3 to 4 million people, especially in endemic areas. This location poses a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge due to varied and sometimes misleading clinical presentations. The aim of this article is to emphasize that the possibility of a primary hydatid cyst of the abdominal wall should not be ruled out in any patient with a history of abdominal hydatid surgery, describe the clinical manifestations, analyse the available diagnostic tools and present the principles of surgical and medical management of this particular entity.
