Primary posterior mediastinal hydatid cyst is a serious health problem for the Mediterranean countries. We diagnosed a case of a 46-year-old female with a primary posterior mediastinum hydatid cyst on CT and MRI. It was provisionally identified as either a hydatid cyst or bronchogenic cyst or neuroenteric cyst. CT guided aspiration with 18 gauge needle confirmed as hydatid sand. This is very rare in this population but it should be kept in mind when one is looking at any cyst in the posterior mediastinum.
原发性后纵隔包虫囊肿对地中海国家来说是一个严重的健康问题。我们通过CT和MRI诊断出一例46岁女性患有原发性后纵隔包虫囊肿。初步诊断为包虫囊肿、支气管源性囊肿或神经肠源性囊肿。CT引导下用18号针穿刺抽吸证实为包虫砂。这种情况在该人群中非常罕见，但在观察后纵隔的任何囊肿时都应予以考虑。
