    Author: Topcu S, Kurul IC, Altinok T, Yazici U, Demir A.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2003 Jan; 75(1):292-4. PubMed ID: 12537240.
    Abstract:
    A 13-year-old girl was admitted to our clinic with the complaints of dyspnea, abdominal distention, cough, and right-sided chest pain.The diagnosis of disease was made with physical examination and radiologic evaluation. She underwent right thoracotomy and phrenotomy for the management of the hydatid cysts of the lung and the liver. The postoperative course was uneventful and she was discharged on the 10th postoperative day. We believe that the simultaneous management of concomitant pulmonary and hepatic hydatid cysts through a thoracicroute is a convenient option.
