Abstract
Background: Spinal hydatid cyst represents a rare form of parasitic infection and is a serious clinical condition that can cause severe consequences such as paraplegia, tetraplegia, or radiculopathy. Objective: In this article, we report a case of a rare lumbar hydatid cyst in a 50-year-old man. Case presentation: We report a rare case of primary lumbar hydatid cyst. Recurrence was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), although the patient had surgery and was taking albendazole regularly. Conclusion: MRI imaging should be used to diagnose the disease. Complete resection is the only treatment that can prevent the lesion from invading adjacent tissues. Regardless of all measures, the disease has a high recurrence rate.
