Abstract
The lung is the second most common organ involved in hydatid cyst next to the liver. Hydatid cyst most commonly occurs in the right lobe of the lung. Common symptoms of pulmonary hydatid cyst are chest pain, cough, shortness of breath and the most diagnostic symptom being expectoration of cystic contents in case of rupture of the cyst into a bronchus. Surgery is the primary treatment option. Surgery should be followed by anthelmintic agents like albendazole or mebendazole.
