Abstract :
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus. The cysts may involve many organs, but they are mostly located in liver. Morbidity is usually secondary to free rupture of the echinococcal cyst (associated with anaphylaxis), infection of the cyst or dysfunction of involved organs. Hydatid cyst with pulmonary artery involvement is extremely rare.
