Abstract:
Hydatid cyst of the breast is a benign condition caused by echinococcus granulosus. Breast hydatidosis is rare. It can be isolated or associated with other localizations, pulmonary or hepatic. The objective of our work is to note an exceptional localization of hydatid disease: the breast. We present here the case of a young woman of 32 years old admitted for the management of a breast nodule discovered during autopalpation, with anatomopathological examination in favour of a mammary hydatid cyst. She presented as an isolated breast swelling and the diagnosis was made by ultramammography. The treatment is surgical. Although breast echinococcosis is slow evolving and generally has a good prognosis, it requires early diagnosis and adequate and timely management to avoid the evolution towards complications of the hydatid cyst, which can have serious consequences. Prophylaxis remains the only way to eradicate this pathology.
