    Abstract:
    Although pleural involvement is relatively common in cystic hydatid disease, one of the rarest and least known complications is secondary pleural hydatidosis. We report the case of a patient who presented with polycystic secondary pleural hydatidosis 4 yrs after treatment for a pyopneumothorax caused by rupture of a pulmonary cyst near the pleural space. Due to the coexistence of severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, surgery was ruled out. The patient was treated with albendazole, with a favourable outcome.
