Clinically, hydatid cyst is often asymptomatic until developing of swelling and anesthetic masse. Preoperative diagnosis is very important and easily done radiologically by ultrasound or MRI that remains exploration of choice to precise diagnosis and hydatid cyst stage. Treatment is essentially medico-surgical allowing complete masse excision and cure of cystic residuals.
