Cystic Echinococcosis (CE) caused by Echinococcus granulosus can produce cystic lesions anywhere in the body. This study has presented a rare patient who had CE at the left pelvic and proximal femoral bones with destruction of the left side hip joint, ischium, and pubic bone with necrotized fasciitis and sepsis symptoms. Patient treated by amputation and chemotherapy. This study indicated that pathological fracture was able to extending of CE to other bones. However, delay in diagnosis of CE of bone could increase risk of amputation, recurrence, sepsis, and even mortality.
