We present an extremely rare case of a young man with hydatid pulmonary embolism caused by a direct invasion of the pulmonary artery by a hydatid cyst. Even if it is a benign parasitic disease, it can lead to serious complications such as arterial, systemic, or multivisceral dissemination or being responsible for an anaphylactic shock. Because of the clinical polymorphism, the diagnosis can be delayed. Therefore, it is necessary to know when conduct a chest CT angiography which is the gold standard for the positive diagnosis.
我们报告了一例极为罕见的病例，一名年轻男性因包虫囊肿直接侵犯肺动脉而发生包虫性肺栓塞。即使它是一种良性寄生虫病，也可能导致严重并发症，如动脉、全身或多脏器播散，或引发过敏性休克。由于临床症状的多样性，诊断可能会延迟。因此，有必要知道何时进行胸部CT血管造影，这是确诊的金标准。
