    Author: Vasquez JC, DeLaRosa J, Montesinos E, Rojas L, Peralta J, Leon JJ.
    Journal: J Trop Pediatr; 2008 Dec; 54(6):420-1. PubMed ID: 18611958.
    Abstract:
    Hydatid cyst can simultaneously affect the liver and lung. Some patients might have additional comorbidities that can make management more challenging. Here, we present a 10-year-old boy with hepatopulmonary hydatid cysts and severe mitral regurgitation, who was successfully managed with a staged surgical approach treating the lung first, followed by the liver and finally, the heart.
