[Difficult diagnosis in pulmonary hydatidosis].
Echinococcosis is a disease caused by a small taenid-tape of Echinococcus granulosus, a parasite that lives in the intestine of canines. Occasionally the intermediate host is the human being and it is located especially in the liver and in the lung having the shape of cysts. The diagnosis is often difficult because of the radiological aspect of the cysts, which are very much alike some tumor. The abstract contains two cases of pulmonary hydatid cyst and its steps towards the final diagnosis.
