“…Radiological elements are not specific too; the main described finding is a filled sinus, associated in some cases, to a parietal bone lysis. The interest of the imaging is mostly to establish a lesional balance sheet and a control of the processing under treatment [6,9,18]. The biopsy of the maxillary sinus followed by histological examination is considered to be the most reliable proof of the diagnosis [4].…”

Introduction: Tuberculosis remains a real public health problem in Tunisia. Extrapulmonary localizations account for 20 to 30% of tuberculosis disease, dominated by the node, osseous and urogenital localization. Case Report: The authors present three cases of nasosinusal tuberculosis, an unusual and rare localization of the disease, in a man and 2 women aged respectively of 30, 65 and 36 years. Results: The main symptoms were dominated by nasal obstruction, posterior throwing and dental pain. CT-scan showed a filling of the nasosinusal cavities with various stages of bony lysis. In all the cases, tuberculosis was confirmed histologically after an endoscopic middle meatotomy. Investigations looking for tuberculosis elsewhere were negative in all cases. Treatment was based on anti-tuberculosis drugs during 9 to 12 months. The evolution was favourable in all the cases. Conclusions: Nasosinusal tuberculosis is a rare chronic infection associating often variable levels of bony lysis. Histological exam remains the best way to confirm it. Therapy is based on anti-tuberculosis drugs. Medical investigations must usually search other localizations of the disease.

“…CT scan not being mandatory for diagnosis, but in the case of a giant cyst, it allows to specify the size and extent of the cyst in the lung parenchyma. 10,11 However, complicated hydatid cysts constitute diagnostic challenges in imaging, and the per-operative exploration is the only one that provides a final diagnosis. 12 In the aspect of treatment, surgery provides the best option for the treatment of pulmonary hydatid cysts.…”

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is parasitic infestation characterized by the development of cyst as a consequence of the parasitization of humans by the larval stages of cestode Echinococcus granulosus. We present a case of 66 years old man who presented with a history of dry cough, mild fever and occasional shortness of breath for 1 year, which was gradually progressive with no history of chest pain or weight loss. Chest x-ray revealed a well-circumscribed homogenous opacity in the right hemithorax. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a large cystic lesion 18× 15 × 14 cm in the right hemithorax involving the whole of the right lower lobe and causing compression atelectasis of the middle lobe. The patient underwent lung preserving surgery with cystectomy and capotionnage. The patient was discharged on the 6th postoperative with a good clinical and radiological outcome. This case report highlights that lung-preserving surgery can be performed in giant hydatid cysts with a good outcome.
