Among echinococcal diseases of internal organs, lung echinococcus, although a relatively infrequent disease, still ranks second in frequency after liver echinococcus. According to Alexinsky, in 1950 cases of echinococcus the latter was found in the liver in 53%, and in the lungs - in 6.3%; according to Frey and Madelung, % of echinococcus in lungs is 11.9, according to Neisser - from 7.4 to 10.6, according to Frangenheim-7; among 22 cases of Palygauay echinococcus in lungs was found once. In our clinic Echinococcus of the lung was found only twice out of 20 cases of echinococcus of internal organs.
