title: [Echinococcus cyst of the breast imitating carcinoma].
abstract: A 3 x 4 cm breast mass in a 38-year-old woman was surgically removed and was found to be an echinococcal cyst; thorough investigation failed to reveal any other hydatid cysts. Echinococcal cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the much more common malignant breast mass.
