ABSTRACT
Hydatid cysts may occasionally be confused with soft tissue tumors such as sarcomas. We report a 43 years oíd female living in a rural zone, presenting with a painful tumor in her left leg. A CAT sean showed the presence of a solid-eystic lesion in the left soleus muscle. A biopsy of the zone was informed as eosinophilic fasceitis and steroids were indicated. Two months later a new CAT sean showed that the lesion was increasing in size. An IgG for hydatidosis was positive. The patient was subjected to a cystectomy and the pathology report informed a hydatid cyst.
RESUMEN
En nuestro país la hidatidosis sigue siendo un importante problema de salud pública. Generalmente compromete el hígado y el pulmón, sin embargo, se han reportado casos con compromiso de diversos órganos, como bazo, peritoneo y otras ubicaciones. Excepcionalmente puede presentarse como un tumor de partes blandas simulando un sarcoma u otro tumor. Presentamos un caso clínico de una paciente con hidatidosis de la musculatura de la pierna derecha tratado en el Hospital Base Osorno, que simuló una fasceítis eosinofílica; además se revisa el estado del arte de la hidatidosis muscular.
