Sailender20 Feb, 2020Health

nfection by the parasite Echinococcus granulosus, commonly known as a tapeworm in its larval or cyst stage, leads to Hydatid disease. Hydatid cysts rarely appear in the soft tissues, and the appearance of the hydatid cyst over the plantar surface of the foot is one of the rarest presentations. Experts suggest that detection of the typical germinal membrane can guide the diagnosis of hydatid cyst in rare locations that are usually found incidentally.
