Аннотация
INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary hydatid cysts have always been associated with diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, especially in endemic areas. While surgical resection is the primary treatment for large cysts, bronchoscopy has been used as a potential alternative for selected cases.
PRESENTATION OF CASE: We report a rare case of a 70-year-old diabetic patient with a complex pulmonary hydatid cyst who was successfully managed by bronchoscopy without surgical intervention. The patient presented with a nonproductive cough, and imaging showed a heterogeneous non-cavitated mass with central necrosis. During diagnostic bronchoscopy, cystic components were identified and removed, and histopathological evaluations confirmed the hydatid cyst.
DISCUSSION: The patient was treated with albendazole and showed significant improvement in imaging after one month.
CONCLUSION: This case highlights the potential of bronchoscopy as a minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic tool for pulmonary hydatid disease, reducing the need for surgery in high-risk patients.
