Mediastinal involvement of hydatidosis is rare even in endemic areas. Isolated mediastinal without lung or liver involvement is even less commonly reported. We present the case of a young gentleman who was diagnosed with primary mediastinal hydatidosis based on clinical, radiological and pathological criteria. He underwent successful resection of the lesion by VATS (Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery) preceded by two weeks of medical treatment with albendazole and had an excellent outcome. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case in the state of Qatar.
即使在流行地区，包虫病累及纵隔也很罕见。孤立性纵隔受累而无肺或肝受累的情况报道更少。我们报告一例年轻男性病例，根据临床、影像学和病理学标准诊断为原发性纵隔包虫病。在接受两周阿苯达唑药物治疗后，他通过电视辅助胸腔镜手术（VATS）成功切除病变，预后良好。据我们所知，这是卡塔尔首次报道的病例。
