Popis:	Hydatid cyst (echinococcosis) is caused by infestation by larval tapeworms of the genus Echinococcus. The disease is extensively distributed worldwide, and it has been rarely reported in Punjab, India. Although it is more commonly reported in liver, it is also seen in other organs as well. We describe the cyto - morphological features in a case of pulmonary hydatid cyst in a 22 year female. Computed tomography revealed a solitary nodule in the lower lobe of left lung. The smears showed tegument, hooklets, and laminated membrane. Keywords: Hydatid, Echinococcus granulosus, Echinococcus.
