“…Recurrence of lung CE is observed in those cases where cyst content was spillage during the surgery; to reduce the number of recurrent cases, it is recommendable the adequate use of scolicidal agents during cyst evacuation in all CE cases, and the concomitant use (pretreatment or post treatment) of benzimidazole compounds in complicated/giant cases[25]. …”

Pulmonary cystic echinococosis, a zoonosis caused by the larvae of the dog tapeworm Echinococcus granulosus, is considered as a major public health problem in those countries where dogs are used to care for large herds because of the incapacitating effects produced in affected population. The ratio lung:liver involvement is higher in children than in adults. A higher proportion of lung cases are discovered incidentally on a routine x-ray evaluation; the majority of infected people remain asymptomatic until the cyst enlarges sufficiently to cause symptoms. The majority of symptoms are caused by mass effect from the cyst volume; the presence of complications caused by cysts broke changes the clinical presentation; the principal complication is cyst rupture, producing cough, chest pain, hemoptysis, or vomica. Diagnosis is obtained by imaging evaluation (Chest X-ray or CT scan), supported by serology in the majority of cases. Surgery is the main therapeutic approach, having as principal objective, the removal of the parasite, preventing intraoperative dissemination; the use of pre surgical chemotherapy reduces the chances of seeding and recurrence; treatment using benzimidazoles is the preferred treatment when surgery is not available, or complete removal is not feasible

PULMONARY HYDATID CYST RESUMENLa hidatidosis se define como una zoonosis, de gran extensión mundial, que afecta frecuentemente a adultos jóvenes, endémica de América del Sur, en relación estrecha con animales de granja y estructura sanitaria deficiente. Es una patología ocasionada por Echinococcus Granulosus, con predominio de afectación en hígado y pulmón, siendo menos frecuente en bazo. Se relata el caso de una paciente adulta, que ingresa por síntomas respiratorios de larga evolución. Tras estudios imagenológicos tomográficos se constató colección única tabicada en seno costo frénico izquierdo. Tras sospecha de hidatidosis se realiza esquema de albendazol con posterior intervención quirúrgica. El estudio de anatomía-patológica revela calcificación de tejido compatible por Echinococcus Granulosus. La paciente evoluciona favorablemente y es dada de alta en su quinto día post operatorio.Palabras clave: Equinococosis, Equinococosis pulmonar, Echinococcus Granulosus. ABSTRACTHydatid disease is defined as a zoonosis of worldwide expansion, which often affects young adults, endemic to South America, working closely with farm animals and poor health infrastructure. It is a disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, predominantly in the liver and lung involvement, being less frequent in the spleen. For an adult patient was admitted for respiratory symptoms longstanding recounted. After tomographic imaging studies partitioned unique collection was found in breast left phrenic cost. After suspicion of hydatid albendazole scheme is performed with subsequent surgery. The study reveals anatomy -pathological tissue calcification compatible with Echinococcus granulosus. The patient is progressing well and is discharged on the fifth postoperative day.

Abstract: Pulmonary hydatid cyst may recur in the same or a different location in the lung. Patients with a pleural lesion must be followed up regularly for any signs of recurrence.
