HYDATID CYST OF THE RIB: A CASE REPORT

The hydatid cyst is endemic in our country, but bone lesions are less common. The disease often takes the appearance of abscess or malignant lesion. We report a case of a 31-year-old woman with a hydatid cyst of the rib complicated with cutaneous fistula. The surgery allowed both diagnosis and treatment.
