Abstract
Hydatidosis is a parasitic disease caused by Echinococcus granulosus, a tapeworm that is endemic in certain parts of the world. We present a case of hepatopulmonary hydatidosis with diaphragm involvement and close contact with the suprahepatic inferior vena cava treated with radical surgery. We discuss therapeutical surgical options (approach and type of surgery).
