Abstract: Hydatid disease is a parasitic infestation by Echinococcus granulosus characterized by cyst formation in various organs.
Secondary involvement due to hematogenous dissemination may be found in almost any anatomic location. We herein reported a very
rare case of lung hydatidosis as a result of disseminated hydatid cysts from intra-abdominal through IVC in a young female patient.
She was treated with surgical intervention in two stages followed by Albendazole therapy. (IJCEM1208003).
Keywords: Lung hydatidosis, intraabdominal, hydatid cyst, inferior vena cava
