  • Title: [Hydatid cyst of the psoas muscle].
    Author: Kafih M, Ajbal M, Ridai M, Idrissi H, Zerouali O.
    Journal: Ann Gastroenterol Hepatol (Paris); 1993 May; 29(3):110-2. PubMed ID: 8517623.
    Abstract:
    Hydatid cysts in the psoas muscle are unusual. The authors report a case of a hydatid cyst which had developed within the psoas muscle and was detected from a mass in the left iliac fossa which was diagnosed before surgery by ultrasound and a CT scan, which remain the preferred primary examinations for the investigation of masses of this type. The authors discuss the various possible clinical and paraclinical contexts and recommend total pericystectomy of a closed cyst as the best treatment following extraperitoneal iliac surgical opening.
