case_images: The MRI showed a lesion with a size of 180x100x75 mm consisting of cystic components within the right vastus lateralis muscle (Fig. 1). According to the WHO-IWGE classification, the grade of CE appearance changed from CE2 to CE3b after albendazole treatment (Fig. 1).

case_images: In the macroscopic examination of the removed cyst, daughter cysts were seen and it was found that the hydatid sand structure was denser and more caseified than normal (Fig. 2).

case_images: The scolex structures were observed in the material sent from the liver, but not in the specimen sent from muscular tissue after the use of albendazole (Fig. 3).
