Abstract

Background: Hydatidosis is an infection caused by larval form of Echinococcus Species. It primarily involves the liver and lungs. Primary skeletal involvement is rare. The location of hydatid cysts in the femur is seldom described in the medical literature, and its diagnosis is challenging and often presenting with a pathologic fracture simulating benign bone cystic lesion.
Keywords: Anti-helminthics, curettage, hydatid disease, long bones
