Abstract :Hydatid cyst (HH) is a zoonotic parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus. The most common site of localization is the liver and the second most common site is the lungs. The most common complication of pulmonary hydatid cyst is rupture of the cyst into the bronchus. Tension pneumothorax is a very rare complication. The diagnosis of hydatid cyst of the lung is based on clinical and radiologic imaging methods and serologic tests. Treatment is primarily surgical. In this case, we aimed to present a case of an adult patient who presented with tension pneumothorax, in which the diagnosis of hydatid cyst was made with clinical and radiologic imaging, and the treatment was organized with surgery and medical treatment immediately afterwards, since he presented with a very rare complication.
Keywords : hydatid cyst of the lung, rare complication, tension pneumothorax
