Abstract

Features of low tension in breast hydatid cyst and symptoms secondary to cyst dying and disintegration are unique and not yet reported in the literature. An young woman of 30 years complained about pain and vague swelling in the right breast during follow-up with albendazole therapy following second laparotomy for post-surgical residual cavity of hydatid cyst in the left lobe of the liver. Breast ultrasound was diagnostic. Segmental breast excision revealed a large dead hydatid cyst. Postoperative course was uneventful. Breast hydatid cyst may become symptomatic and hypotensive after start of albendazole therapy.
