- Abstract
Pulmonary hydatid cyst (PHC) is an important clinical problem in endemic areas to echinococcal infection. The cysts are characteristically seen as solitary or multiple circumscribed or oval masses on imaging. The characteristic imaging appearance changes with rupture of the cyst. Surgery is the recommended form of treatment. We present two cases of ruptured PHC with communicating rupture into the bronchus.
