The lung is the second most commonly involved organ in humans by hydatid disease. Management of large pulmonary hydatid cysts is a great challenge for thoracic surgeons. Lung resections should be considered the last choice for huge pulmonary hydatid cysts when the lung expansion is not optimal after cyst removal. Here, we present a case of huge lung hydatid cyst involving the entire right lower lobe which was successfully managed by lung-preserving surgery in which the postoperative course showed gradual resolution of the involved lobe during a one-year follow-up.
肺是人类包虫病第二常见受累器官。巨大肺包虫囊肿的治疗对胸外科医生来说是一项巨大挑战。当囊肿切除后肺扩张不理想时，肺切除术应被视为巨大肺包虫囊肿的最后选择。在此，我们报告一例累及整个右下叶的巨大肺包虫囊肿病例，该病例通过保肺手术成功治疗，术后病程显示在一年随访期间受累肺叶逐渐恢复。
