Hydatid disease is one of the most widespread and endemic infections causing a substantial health and economic burden. The liver and lungs remain the most affected viscera. We report the case of a 41-year-old man with an atypical presentation: a hydatid cyst of the liver with a massive extension to the mediastinum through the esophagus hiatus. This patient underwent a single-stage surgical session to treat the mediastinal and abdominal parts of the cyst through a unique thoracic route.
包虫病是一种分布广泛且流行的感染病，会给人们带来严重的健康和经济负担。肝脏和肺部是最常受影响的内脏器官。我们报告了一例不典型表现的病例：肝包虫囊肿，通过食管裂孔向纵隔大量延伸。该患者通过独特的胸部途径在一期手术中治疗了纵隔和腹部的囊肿。
