Özet
Hydatid cyst, although seen less each year, is still a serious public health problem in countries such as Turkey where livestock is an important source of income and adequate measures are not taken concerning protection against the disease. We present a rare hydatid cyst case which occurred concurrently on the lung and serratus anterior muscle. In our case, the cyst was first thought to be a mass. When the germinative membrane was expectorated to the bronchus, the hydatid cyst was diagnosed with fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
