[Primary hydatid cyst of the coracobrachial muscle. A clinical case].
Primary localization of hydatidosis in the musculoskeletal system is a quite rare occurrence. We report a case of a 67 year old man with an infestation of the coracobrachialis muscle. We discuss several instrumental and serologic diagnosis methods and the hypothesis of a primary muscular localization.
