ABSTRACT
The hydatic cyst is a parasitic disease quite common in endemic countries. It is frequently situated in the liver and the lungs. Its location in the bone is rare.

The diagnosis of sternal hydatic cyst was suspected through imaging and confirmed at the pathological study of the specimen. The sternal hydatic cyst is rare, the diagnosis is radiological and the treatment is surgical
