title: Recurrent iliac hydatidosis: A case report.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Hydatid cysts may occur in any area of the body, but they usually localize to the liver and the lungs. Primary localization in bone is not common.
  
  
  METHODS
  The authors report the case of multifocal hydatid disease appeared 3 years after the surgical treatment of a cyst of the hip. The patient presented with cough and chest pain of 2 months duration. Only the lung localization was symptomatic. The thoracic echography, the abdominal and chest scan allowed the diagnosis.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Hydatid recurrence remain frequent, whatever is the nature of the treatment, surgical or chemical.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The premature detection of recurrence is of great importance.
