Abstract EN
Hydatid pulmonary embolism rarely occurs.
It arises from the rupture of a hydatid heart cyst or the opening of a visceral hydatid cyst into the venous circulation.
We report a case with pulmonary hydatidosis resulting in a massive bilateral pulmonary embolism in a 56-year-old woman with history of hepatic echinococcosis.
A brief overview of clinical features and radiologic findings is presented.
