Abstract EN

The hydatid cyst is not rare in our country, but bone lesions are less common.

The disease often takes the appearance of abscess or malignant lesion.

We report a case of a 35-year-old man with a hydatid cyst of the rib complicated with cutaneous fistula.

The surgery allowed both diagnosis and treatment.

Albendazole was then administered to prevent relapse.
