Popis: In this paper, we present a rare case of pulmonary cyst echinococcosis, in which the patient presented with no symptoms and was misdiagnosed as having pulmonary tuberculosis. Our case is a prime example of why echinococcosis should be part of the differential when dealing with an immigrant population.
