Abstract
Hydatid cyst is a parasitic disease caused by larval stage of small tape worm (Echinococcus), causing cyst formation in the liver and in the lung. It affects liver primarily and secondary mostly the lungs. Hydatidosis is endemic in many countries and it is more prevalent in India. We came across a case of 4 years old female child presented with concomitant hydatidosis of the lung and liver and managed by single stage surgery involving cystotomy and partial excision for the cyst located in the lung and cystotomy, partial excision and inversion of the cavity with sutures for the cyst in the liver.
