The hydatid cyst is not rare in our country, but bone lesions are less common. The disease often takes the appearance of abscess or malignant lesion. We report  a case of a 35-year-old man with a hydatid cyst of the rib complicated with 
cutaneous fistula. The surgery allowed both diagnosis and treatment. Albendazole was then administered to 
prevent relapse
