  • Title: Necessity of lung resection in neglected cases of pulmonary hydatidosis.
    Author: Findikcioglu A, Kilic D, Canpolat T, Hatipoglu A.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 2010 Jun; 16(3):187-9. PubMed ID: 20930680.
    Abstract:
    In pulmonary hydatid disease, lung resection is not a desirable treatment. Two young boys, aged 9 and 15, presented at our institution, the 9-year-old with a destroyed lung as the result of a delayed diagnosis of a giant cyst; the second with a massive hemoptysis as the result of preoperative albendazole use. Both children underwent a lobectomy for the treatment of pulmonary hydatidosis. Delayed diagnosis and use of albendazole, respectively, were considered the causes necessitating lung resection in these cases of giant and complicated pulmonary hydatid disease.
