Abstract

Pulmonary multi‑vesicular hydatid disease (HD) with Echinococcus granulosus is rare. A 28‑year‑old woman presented
to our center with cough and respiratory distress. Chest x‑ray and computerized tomography scan revealed bilateral
giant cysts with water‑lily sign (ruptured hydatid cysts). The left cyst was in vicinity of heart. With thoracotomy cysts of
both lungs were removed. Thousands of translucent, homogenized small daughter cysts were discovered from the left
side cyst. Pathologic examinations revealed the ruptured hydatid cysts of both lungs with daughter cysts on the left lung
cyst. To best of our knowledge probably this is the first report of multi‑vesicular HD in lung. We suppose that the heart
pulsation was effective in the formation of daughter cysts
