Fourteen cases of hydatid cysts of the lung in childhood are reported. The lung organ constitutes the most frequent site of the disease in childhood. The possible pathogenetic factors and the complications such as rupture and suppuration of the cyst are described. Conservative surgical procedures are recommended. The value of prophylaxis against the disease in infants and young children is emphasised.
