Hydatid disease is a prevalent disease in India. The most common organs involved are the liver and the lungs. Most of the time, the lung cysts are single and large. Multiple cysts have been described in literature but they are generally bilateral. We present here a case of multiple hydatidosis which involved only one lung, but occupied all the segments of the lung. The cysts were numerous and interconnected giving the appearance of a maze. The images of the computed tomography (CT) scan reveal that there was very little identifiable lung tissue. But after surgery, the healthy lung tissue expanded and occupied the chest cavity.
包虫病在印度是一种常见疾病。最常受累的器官是肝脏和肺。大多数情况下，肺囊肿为单个且较大。文献中曾描述过多个囊肿的情况，但通常为双侧性。我们在此呈现一例仅累及一侧肺但占据该肺所有肺段的多发性包虫病病例。囊肿众多且相互连接，呈现出迷宫样外观。计算机断层扫描（CT）图像显示几乎没有可识别的肺组织。但手术后，健康的肺组织扩张并占据了胸腔。
