Hydatid disease has a wide geographic distribution around the world. In human, the lungs are the second most commonly affected sites. Pulmonary hydatidosis is much more frequently encountered in children than in adults. Surgical treatment has remained the standard option in the management of hydatid disease. However, surgeons were able to replicate the principles of conventional surgery using minimally invasive techniques. Herein, we report a case of pulmonary hydatid cyst in a 9-year-old girl treated successfully using the thoracoscopic approach.
包虫病在全球具有广泛的地理分布。在人类中，肺部是第二常见的受累部位。肺包虫病在儿童中比在成人中更常见。手术治疗一直是包虫病治疗的标准选择。然而，外科医生能够使用微创技术复制传统手术的原则。在此，我们报告一例9岁女孩的肺包虫囊肿，采用胸腔镜方法成功治疗。
