Pulmonary hydatid cysts in children frequently develop complications such as infection and air leaks. Surgery combined with medical therapy remains the standard form of treatment. We report a 7‐year‐old child who developed rupture of a large pulmonary hydatid cyst following chest trauma; conservative management resulted in successful expulsion of the cyst.
