title: [Multiple pulmonary hydatid disease with cardiovascular localisation].
abstract: Multiple thoracic hydatid disease is rare. Cardiovascular localisation is exceptional. Clinical, radiological and even electrocardiographic signs are not specific. The diagnosis is often difficult. We report a case of multiple pulmonary hydatid disease associated to a hydatid cyst of the infundibulum of the pulmonary artery. This is presented in a young man, aged 21 years, in good physical health, with recurrent minimal haemoptysis dating back two years ago. The authors emphasise, throughout this case history, the difficulties of diagnosis and treatment of multiple hydatid cysts especially with cardiovascular localisation.
