Hydatid cyst disease (HCD) is a zoonotic infestation of Echinococcus granulosus, which is frequently seen in some regions of the world. Unusual localization of Echinococcus granulosus is very rare. Hence, we would like to present our experience of identifying an extra-hepatopulmonary location of hydatid cysts.
