A rare concurrence of hepatic and primary subcutaneous hydatid cyst

Primary subcutaneous hydatid disease is an exceptional presentation of echinococcosis, bypassing the liver and lungs—its usual organs of involvement. This case presents a co-occurrence of hepatic and parietal wall hydatid cysts, emphasizing the importance of considering echinococcosis in differential diagnoses of long-standing cysts even in atypical locations, and highlights the effectiveness of minimally invasive surgical techniques to avoid spillage of cyst contents combined with antiparasitic therapy in prevention of recurrence.
