Hydatid cyst is a zoonotic disease with an endemic regional distribution, and Aspergillus is a saprophytic fungus that may cause allergic pulmonary aspergillosis, aspergilloma, and semi-invasive and invasive aspergillosis. The coexistence of a saprophytic fungus and hydatid cyst is extremely rare. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the coexistence of aspergillosis and echinococcosis in archival materials and to discuss its probable clinical significance.
