Hydatid disease, one of the most geographically widespread zoonoses is caused by tape worm Echinococcus granulosus. It is endemic in areas with increased cattle grazing with substantial disease burden. We report a case of a male who presented with symptoms and signs of mediastinal compression and was diagnosed to have disseminated hydatid disease.
