title: Accumulation of F-18 FDG in the infected pulmonary cyst in a patient with hydatid disease.
abstract: Echinococcosis is endemic in certain parts of the world, including Turkey. When the pulmonary cyst has characteristic features, it can be easily diagnosed, but when the appearance changes as a result of complications, the cyst may resemble a malignant lesion. We presented a complicated pulmonary hydatid disease patient who was referred to our department for PET-CT, after the detection of 2 lung lesions.
