pulmonary echinococcus granulosus is a parasitic infection found worldwide. patients usually present with cough and/or hemoptysis with pulmonary nodule (s). rarely do they enlarge to such sizes as to present with dyspnea. we report two cases with the largest hydatid cysts of the lung reported up to date: one measuring 24.5 x 19 cm and the other 19.5 x 16.5 cm. these cysts were removed intact without rupturing and with decreased complications using the barrett (enucleation) technique.

We report a case of 26 year old woman who had ruptured hydatid cyst of the right lung. The chest radiograph and CT features were suggestive of a ruptured hydatid cyst with detached and collapsed endocyst within the exocyst. Intraoperatively communication between cyst and bronchus could be demonstrated. Interesting CT appearance and demonstrable communication of cyst with bronchus is the reason ...

The diagnosis requires integrating an appropria...

Hydatid cystic disease is still a significant clinical problem in endemic countries. Hydatid cysts are usually located in the liver and lung. The resulting large cysts in the lung are a special clinical entity called giant hydatid cysts.
