Abstract
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease which is common in our country and it stil maintains its importance nowadays. In childhood, right lung involvement is more common and hydatid cyst causes symptoms such as fever, cough, chest pain, dyspnea and hemoptysis. We reported a 10-year-old patient who presented with abdominal pain and lesion in the posterior basal segment of the left lung lower lobe compatible with hydatid cyst in thorax CT and in whom cystectomy was performed. In conclusion, in cases presenting with abdominal pain in regions where hydatid disease is endemic, hydatid cyst of the lung should be kept in mind in differential diagnosis.
