Özet
A 57-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with a pleural based lesion which was incidentally detected on a chest radiograph. A chest tomography revealed a mass lesion extending left sixth rib. The mass was removed by a left postero-lateral thoracotomy. Daughter vesicles were seen when the lesion was incised postoperatively. In this article, we presented a rib hydatidosis which is very uncommon asymptomatic presentation of hydatid cyst disease with its surgical management.
