Hydatid disease of the lung mimicking a pericardial cyst.
We report a young girl who presented to us with chest discomfort and had a paracardiac mass on chest radiograph. Computerised tomographic (CT) scan of the thorax was suggestive of pericardial cyst. Hydatid serology was negative. The cyst was excised.
