Abstract:
A case of right sided transdiaphragmatic rupture of hepatic hydatid cyst into the right hemithorax is presented. Computed Tomography (CT) scan showed a large hydatid cyst replacing the right lobe of liver and causing complete collapse of right lung secondary to the transdiaphragmatic rupture. Per-operatively, a bronchopleural fistula was also identified and repaired.
