| Popis: | Hydatid disease or echinococcosis is a zoonotic parasitic disease. The lung is the second most commonly affected organ after the liver. Intra-thoracic and extra-pulmonary hydatid disease is uncommon and may involve the pleura, mediastinum, heart, diaphragm, and chest wall. Unusual locations or complications of thoracic hydatid disease may pose a diagnostic challenge. We present imaging findings of cases with unusual location and presentations of thoracic hydatid disease with emphasis on their clinical implications. |
