Causative agent of hydatid disease is E. granulosus belongs to the group of a flat worm. E.granulosus shows a wide geographical distribution, however, is common in sheep farming is concentrated in the regions. People is transmitted by animals,through the cycle of life. The most common amount of liver and lungs. Pulmonary involvement is seen more frequently in the younger age group. Although the majority of patients are asymptomatic also cyst rupture or compression of surrounding tissues may become symptomatic. Pulmonary hydatid disease can appear as benign infectious diseases such as tuberculosis as well as lung cancer. radiological findings are variously in ruptured cysts. hydatid disease of lung could mimic many lung pathology particularly malignancies. The differential diagnosis should be performed in the preoperative period. Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease that is prevalent in countries like ours, even leads to think that lung cancer also complicated or ruptured hydatid cyst should be considered in differential diagnosis at all times.
