Hydatid disease of the bone is a very rare condition. It represents about 0.5–4% of all human hydatid disease. Spine is the most affected part of the skeleton (50% cases). Extra-spinal bone hydatidosis is much rare. A 20 year old woman presented with severe pain and swelling in left thigh. On examination, there was a boggy swelling in left thigh suggestive of abscess. MRI of left hip joint and thigh revealed features of osteomyelitis with pathological fracture in upper shaft along with multiloculated collections in upper thigh muscle. Biopsy revealed evidence of Hydatid cyst. Hydatid disease of the bone is a rare manifestation of Echinococcosis. It is hence important to consider the possibility of Hydatid disease of the bone as a differential diagnosis of lucent lesions of bone especially in areas where it is prevalent for proper treatment of the patient. Radiological, laboratory, and clinical findings combined with strong element of suspicion are the key for diagnosis.
