Abstract
Hydatid cysts are rarely found in muscles. Reports have shown the presence of hydatid cysts in the pectoralis major muscle alone or together with the pectoralis minor muscle. Herein, we present a rare case of a hydatid cyst found in the pectoralis minor muscle alone without the involvement of the pectoralis major or any other muscle or organ.
