    Abstract:
    A 33 year old woman from Lebanon presented with recurrent hemoptysis, subfebrile temperature, dyspnoe in stress, fatigue, weight loss, and pruritus. Serological tests and results from chest X-ray and computer tomography revealed cystic echinococcosis with pulmonary involvement. After refusal of surgical therapy a medical treatment with albendazole was implemented. Two months after the start of the therapy only a small fibrotic residuum in the lung was seen. A spontaneous healing success seems unlikely because of the duration of the pulmonary cyst and the progressive symptoms before treatment.
