title: [Hydatid cyst of the thigh: three cases].
abstract: Three patients presented a benign soft tissue mass in the thigh muscles. Ultrasonography provided the diagnosis of hydatid cyst. Total pericystecomy was performed in all cases with no recurrence at 8 months, 3 years and 4 years. We point out the importance of preoperative diagnosis and the need for radical excision to avoid recurrence.
