Abstract
Hydatid disease is a prevalent disease in India. The most common organs involved are the liver and the lungs. Most of the time, the lung cysts are single and large. Multiple cysts have been described in literature but they are generally bilateral. We present here a case of multiple hydatidosis which involved only one lung, but occupied all the segments of the lung. The cysts were numerous and interconnected giving the appearance of a maze. The images of the computed tomography (CT) scan reveal that there was very little identifiable lung tissue. But after surgery, the healthy lung tissue expanded and occupied the chest cavity.
