This is a report of a 81 year old women with a cyst of echinococcus granulosus, that was almost completely taking over the lower lobe of the left lung. This case study shows on one hand the diagnosis of echinococcosis is a part of the differential diagnosis even for an elderly patient. On the other hand we were able to demonstrate, that elderly patients can benefit from the surgical treatment especially since medication has a lot of side effects and a fairly high rate of failures.
这是一份关于一名81岁女性的报告，该女性患有细粒棘球绦虫囊肿，几乎完全占据了左肺下叶。本病例研究一方面表明，即使对于老年患者，棘球蚴病的诊断也是鉴别诊断的一部分。另一方面，我们能够证明，老年患者可以从手术治疗中获益，特别是因为药物治疗有很多副作用且失败率相当高。
