Pulmonary and parotid hydatid cyst: an unusual double localization.
We described a rare case of pulmonary and parotid cyst for echinococcus granulosus in an eighty-one-year-old patient. Lesion was discovered in the lung owing to a clinical presentation. A swelling was the only sign in the parotid gland. Time between lung and parotid excision was 14 days. Time of hospitalizations was 4+/-1 day.
