The case of a 12-year-old Caucasian boy, living in a non-endemic area, with two intrapulmonary masses is presented. Conventional X-rays and computed tomography images were highly suggestive of pulmonary Echinococcus disease because of the presence of pericystic emphysema in one of both masses, a finding known as the "crescent" or "meniscus" sign. This radiological feature and other highly suggestive imaging findings of pulmonary hydatid disease are presented and discussed.
本文介绍了一名12岁居住在非流行区的白种男孩，其肺部有两个肿块。常规X线和计算机断层扫描图像高度提示为肺包虫病，因为其中一个肿块存在包囊周围肺气肿，这一表现被称为“新月”或“半月板”征。本文展示并讨论了这种放射学特征以及其他高度提示肺包虫病的影像学表现。
