Case Report: Osseous and Soft Tissue Hydatid Disease of the Hip in a 31-Year-Old Patient

This case report describes a rare presentation of musculoskeletal hydatid disease in a 31-year-old patient with extensive osseous and soft tissue involvement of the left hip. MRI demonstrated multiloculated cystic lesions affecting the iliac bone, femoral head, and surrounding musculature. Diagnosis was confirmed based on imaging features and epidemiological context. The patient was managed with preoperative albendazole and scheduled for radical surgical excision. This report highlights the value of MRI in detecting and characterizing hydatid disease and discusses differential diagnoses and management strategies.
