Aspergillus is a saprophytic fungus usually colonizing in pre-existing structural or infectious lung cavities. Mixed infection of Aspergillus and hydatid cyst in immunocompetant patients is rarely seen. We report two cases in 69 and 53 years old with mixed infection of Aspergillus and ruptured hydatid cyst in lung with review of the literature. Patient 1 presented with chest pain, cough and hemoptysis. Radiology revealed a cystic lesion in right upper lung. Patient 2 presented with cough and his radiology showed bilateral cystic lung lesions. Both patients underwent cystectomy and cappitonage procedures. Herein we aimed to underline the importance of careful histopathologic evaluation of hydatid cystectomy specimens in terms of Aspergillus colonization to avoid from possible fatal complications of this fungus, by pathologists.
