Abstract

Echinococcal involvement of the breast is extremely rare, even in the endemic countries. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented with a 5 cm mammary mass. Mammography and sonography showed a well-circumscribed cystic lesion. Diagnosis of hydatid cyst was confirmed by pathological examination.
