ABSTRACT
Hydatidosis is a cosmopolitan antropozoonosis caused by the development in humans of the larval form of Echinococcus granulosus. It is a parasitic infection constituting a public health problem in the countries of the Mediterranean basin, particularly in Morocco, where it is endemic. The most frequent locations are the liver, lungs and spleen. The pulmonary localization is predominantly right and lower lobar, single in 2/3 of cases and double in 12% of cases. We report in our work a case of hydatid cyst with double right pulmonary localization admitted to our hospital.
