Pulmonary hydatid disease is a rare parasitic disease in Australia with few reported cases. The mainstay of treatment in pulmonary hydatid disease is surgical resection followed by medical treatment with benzimidazoles to reduce the risk of recurrence. We present a case of successful resection of a large primary pulmonary hydatid cyst via minimally invasive video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery approach in a 65-year-old gentleman with incidental hepatopulmonary hydatid disease.
肺包虫病在澳大利亚是一种罕见的寄生虫病，报告病例较少。肺包虫病的主要治疗方法是手术切除，随后使用苯并咪唑进行药物治疗以降低复发风险。我们报告一例通过微创电视辅助胸腔镜手术成功切除一名65岁男性患者的大型原发性肺包虫囊肿的病例，该患者伴有偶然发现的肝肺包虫病。
