Abstract :
Hydatid cyst locates in the liver (70%), lungs (25%) and rarely in other body tissues. Cases with
gluteal muscle localized hydatid cyst are rarely seen in literature. In this case report, a woman with hydatid
cyst that was located in gluteal muscle was discussed. After the patient had been diagnosed, complete surgical
excision was performed with the patient. Albendazole treatment was applied in preoperative and
postoperative period to decrease local recurrence risk.
