Abstract
In a tropical country like India, it is not rare to see patients with parasitic cysts. Hydatid cysts most often caused by the parasite Ecchinococcus granulosus present as space occupying lesions of the lung or liver. Isolated musculoskeletal and subcutaneous Hydatid cysts in the absence of any involvement of the lungs and liver are very rare and only a handful of cases have been reported in literature. We report an interesting case of an isolated subcutaneous Hydatid cyst of the gluteal region presenting as a gluteal abscess in a 45 year old lady. This report aims to highlight the unique presentation of the spectrum of Hydatid disease.
