Abstract:
Hydatid cyst is an important health problem throughout the world, and it is caused by the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. Although it is most commonly located in the liver and lungs, hydatid cyst can also affect other organs because the oncospheres spread through the bloodstream. The disease may have many different clinical presentations. Although it is a benign disease, sometimes it can cause serious morbidity and even mortality. Here, the case of a 33-year-old male patient who underwent surgery for a right ventricle and bilateral lung hydatid cyst 9 years ago and had pulmonary hypertension is presented.
