Özet

Bone hydatidosis is a rare parasitic disease that necessitates serious attention de to the fact that its treatment is difficult with high failure rates. Early diagnosis as well as combined use of well-planned surgery and chemotherapy are basic requirements for a successful treatment. Failure to provide one of these conditions may result with spreading of the disease to an extent making impossible to cope with it. This paper presents a case in which proximal femoral hydatidosis has spread to the pelvis threateningly due to delayed diagnosis and insufficient surgery performed without any chemotherapy support.
