Summary
This case study highlights the successful removal of a pulmonary hydatid cyst using radial endobronchial ultrasound (rEBUS) guided cryo-debulking. This innovative technique aided diagnosis and ensured safe extraction of the parasitic cyst.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonology
- Interventional Pulmonology
- Parasitology
Background:
- Persistent cough in a non-smoker prompted investigation.
- Initial CT and PET-CT revealed a suspicious lung lesion.
- Standard bronchoscopy and biopsy provided non-diagnostic results.
