Abstract

Hydatid cyst (HC) is a lesion most commonly seen in the liver but can occur in many parts of the body. Breast involvement with HC is extremely rare. It can be isolated or accompanied by other organ involvements. In this report, we present a 46-year-old female with isolated HC located in the right breast. In the ultrasonography and MR images of the patient, the lesion was compatible with the HC, and homogenous dens lesion was shown on mammography. Diagnosis of HC was confirmed pathological. With this study, it was aimed to emphasize the radiological findings of isolated breast HC.

包虫囊肿(HC)是一种最常见于肝脏的病变，但也可发生在身体的许多部位。累及乳房的HC极为罕见。它可以是孤立的，也可以伴有其他器官受累。在这个报告中，我们提出了一个46岁的女性孤立的HC位于右乳房。患者超声及MR示病变与HC相符，乳房x光检查显示均质齿状病变。病理证实HC诊断。本研究旨在强调孤立性乳腺HC的影像学表现。
