Abstract:
We report two cases of primitive pleural hydatid cyst. These two boys aged 13 and 14 who were referred for suspected tuberculosis. Front of the x-rays showed, Fluid pleural effusions with lobulated internal limits. Ultrasound has helped highlight the patient of 13 years a multi-vesicular cystic mass (cluster of grapes) compatible with girls vesicles. CT has helped highlight the pleural headquarters multiloculated cystic mass. CT allowed to objectify the right mediastinal pleura and the small fissure of multiple cystic formations without wall or mural nodule. It is noted an extension of the lesions to the diaphragm and to adjacent soft parts. The diagnosis of primary pleural cyst was raised in both cases before the characteristic appearance of the images. The confirmation was made by the hydatid serology was positive and 8kDa 18kDa respectively. The curative treatment is surgical. The outcome was favorable.
