Lung is the second most common site of hydatid disease, after liver. Pleural involvement of hydatid disease can occur, and usually follows the rupture of a pulmonary or hepatic hydatid cyst into the pleural space. When a patient presents with tension pneumothorax, zoonotic infections, especially hydatid disease of the lung, also has to be considered especially in areas with high burden of the disease. We report a 31 years male patient presenting with tension pneumothorax due to rupture of hydatid cyst of lung.
肺是仅次于肝脏的第二大常见包虫病发病部位，包虫病累及胸膜通常是由于肺或肝包虫囊肿破裂至胸膜腔所致。当患者出现张力性气胸时，尤其在疾病负担较高的地区，还需要考虑到动物源性感染，尤其是肺包虫病。我们报告了 1 例 31 岁男性患者，因肺包虫囊肿破裂导致张力性气胸。
