  • Title: Primary posterior chest wall echinococcosis.
    Author: Karapinar K, Altinok D, Cetingök U, Düzgün C.
    Journal: Int Surg; 1999; 84(1):89-90. PubMed ID: 10421027.
    Abstract:
    Hydatid cyst is not mentioned among the chest wall tumours in areas not known to harbour echinococcosis. One of the uncommon sites for echinococcosis even in endemic countries is the chest wall. The striking resemblance between neoplasm and hydatid cysts forms a diagnostic dilemma and makes the correct diagnosis essential before surgery.
