[Isolated echinococcosis of the flexor digitorum profondus: a case report].
Echinococcosis is a widespread zoonosis which is endemic in most sheep-raising countries. Primary isolated muscular localisation is uncommon even in these endemic areas. The authors report a rare case of primary hydatid cyst localized in the myotendinous junction of the flexor digitorum profundus. According to our review of the medical literature, there are no reports of a similar case, making ours the first such report.
