Hydatid disease is known to occur in many parts of world with pulmonary disease accounting for 5 % to 44% of it. Hydatid cyst has also been described in many unusual locations however; it is unusual to find huge cysts at multiple locations and organs. From this case report we conclude that a combination of laparoscopic and thoracoscopy followed by conventional deroofing of the hydatid cyst in a single sitting achieved complete removal of cyst and early mobilization in the management of pulmonary and liver hydatid cyst and is safe, prevents the need of repeated surgeries, and lessens the financial burden, hospital stay, days of absence from work and mental stress on the family members of the patients. These simple procedures are safe, reliable and successful. We also take a look at the clinical presentation, management ofpulmonary as well as liver hydatid cyst in the same patient and postoperative complications.
