Only 0.5 to 2% of hydatid cysts are localized in the skeleton and of these, 3 to 4% are found in the skull. In this paper, the authors report a case of primary hydatidosis involving the cranial vault revealed by a bulging mass of the forehead and symptoms of raised intracranial pressure that occurred in a 22-year-old woman who came from a rural area. Through this case and literature review, the authors analyse the epidemiological, clinical and radiological aspects of skull hydatidosis. They conclude that hydatid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of any soft tissue swelling or osteolytic lesion in the scalp of patients living in endemic areas.

Hydatidosis is an endemic parasitic disease affecting in most cases the parenchymal organs. The involvement of the soft tissue is a rare pathology that, left untreated, can lead to rupture and potentially catastrophic anaphylaxis. In this article, we describe the case of a 42-year-old male who developed a subcutaneous hydatid cyst in the buttock as a solitary primary localization. Consequently, the patient underwent a successful surgical excision with uneventful post-operative recovery.
