Abstract EN
Hydatid disease is a relatively common disease in the Middle East with variable prevalence rates among different countries.
Lung involvement is a common site and patients may presents with different clinical pictures.
Serological tests may help to confirm the diagnosis but a negative serology does not necessarily exclude the diagnosis of cystic hydatid disease.
Endobroncheal hydatid cyst (a hydatid membrane which can be seen endobroncheally via a fiberoptic bronchoscope) is a relatively rare clinical finding in pulmonary hydatid disease.
We describe four cases of this clinical entity that were diagnosed at the bronchoscopy unit at King Hussein Medical Center over a five years period.
