PULMONARY HYDATID CYST RESUMENLa hidatidosis se define como una zoonosis, de gran extensión mundial, que afecta frecuentemente a adultos jóvenes, endémica de América del Sur, en relación estrecha con animales de granja y estructura sanitaria deficiente. Es una patología ocasionada por Echinococcus Granulosus, con predominio de afectación en hígado y pulmón, siendo menos frecuente en bazo. Se relata el caso de una paciente adulta, que ingresa por síntomas respiratorios de larga evolución. Tras estudios imagenológicos tomográficos se constató colección única tabicada en seno costo frénico izquierdo. Tras sospecha de hidatidosis se realiza esquema de albendazol con posterior intervención quirúrgica. El estudio de anatomía-patológica revela calcificación de tejido compatible por Echinococcus Granulosus. La paciente evoluciona favorablemente y es dada de alta en su quinto día post operatorio.Palabras clave: Equinococosis, Equinococosis pulmonar, Echinococcus Granulosus. ABSTRACTHydatid disease is defined as a zoonosis of worldwide expansion, which often affects young adults, endemic to South America, working closely with farm animals and poor health infrastructure.

For an adult patient was admitted for respiratory symptoms longstanding recounted. After tomographic imaging studies partitioned unique collection was found in breast left phrenic cost.
