Background: Lung hydatidosis is a zoonosis related to infection by the Echinococcus tapeworm species. Lung involvement in this condition is second only to the liver echinococcosis. Diagnosis ordinarily results from an accidental finding in a direct chest radiograph evaluation because of the delayed growth of the cysts. Moreover, a consistent treatment regimen or approach may not be feasible because of the variability of pulmonary echinococcosis. In this review, we expect to sum up the main features of lung hydatidosis with a perspective on medical and surgical treatment.

肺包虫病或肺包虫病：叙述性评论

背景：肺包虫病是一种与棘球绦虫感染有关的人畜共患病。在这种情况下，肺部受累仅次于肝包虫病。由于囊肿的延迟生长，诊断通常是在直接胸片评估中偶然发现的。此外，由于肺棘球蚴病的变异性，一致的治疗方案或方法可能不可行。在这篇综述中，我们希望从内科和外科治疗的角度总结肺包虫病的主要特征。
