Hydatid disease is a zoonotic infectious disease for which there are known treatment procedures and effective antibiotics; however, there are resistant cases that do not respond to medication or surgery. We report a case diagnosed as hydatid disease of the chest wall and treated with radiation therapy (RT) after medical and surgical therapy had failed. In conclusion, RT represents an alternative treatment modality in resistant cases.
包虫病是一种人畜共患的传染病，已有已知的治疗程序和有效的抗生素；然而，有一些耐药病例对药物或手术没有反应。我们报告了一例经药物和手术治疗失败后，诊断为胸壁包虫病并接受放射治疗（RT）的病例。总之，RT 代表了耐药病例的一种替代治疗方式。
