Özet
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease that may involve many organs. Hydatid cyst with pulmonary artery involvement is a very rarely encountered form. It was aimed to present a rare bilateral pulmonary artery involvement determined in a 61-year-old male case with hydatid cyst. In our case, the lesions were determined in many segments of bilateral lungs, right atrium lateral wall of the heart and in many branches of bilateral pulmonary artery. Pathological evaluation of the patient underwent surgery for the cardiac mass revealed hyda-tid cyst. The patient, who refused the proposal of surgery for the lesions in lungs and pulmonary artery, was given medical drug therapy. We think that it may be helpful to include hyda-tid cyst in prediagnosis list for the patient applied to a doctor with multiple cystic or nodular images.
