Echinococcosis, also known as hydatid disease, is a zoonotic parasitic infection that poses a significant risk to human health. This article delineates the diagnostic and therapeutic course of a patient afflicted with pulmonary echinococcosis who was admitted to the Department of Thoracic Surgery II at Yunnan Cancer Hospital in April 2024. The patient exhibited a history of extensive exposure to livestock and a penchant for consuming undercooked meat. Prior to undergoing surgical intervention, the patient was initially diagnosed with bronchogenic pulmonary cyst. However, subsequent pathological examination revealed a diagnosis of pulmonary echinococcosis. The rarity of the disease and the paucity of experience in diagnosis and treatment rendered the patient's case a valuable opportunity to elucidate the diagnostic and therapeutic journey. This report aims to provide a comprehensive reference for the accurate identification and treatment of pulmonary echinococcosis in future clinical practice.
棘球蚴病，又称包虫病，是一种人畜共患的寄生虫感染病，对人类健康构成重大风险。本文阐述了一名于2024年4月入住云南省肿瘤医院胸外二科的肺棘球蚴病患者的诊断和治疗过程。该患者有广泛接触家畜史且有食用未煮熟肉类的嗜好。在接受手术干预之前，患者最初被诊断为支气管源性肺囊肿。然而，随后的病理检查显示诊断为肺棘球蚴病。该疾病的罕见性以及诊断和治疗经验的匮乏，使该患者的病例成为阐明诊断和治疗过程的宝贵机会。本报告旨在为未来临床实践中准确识别和治疗肺棘球蚴病提供全面参考。
