Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus cestode. Hydatid cyst is an important risk factor in rural areas especially in Mediterranean countries, Middle East and Australia. The disease is most common in the liver and then in the lungs and it is very rare to be seen primarily in the chest wall. We present a 31 years-old female patient with primary chest wall hydatid cyst and discuss the surgical treatment.
