Radiological manifestations of lung echinococcosis in children

M Grünebaum. Pediatr Radiol. .

Abstract

Echinococcosis of the lung should always be kept in mind when evaluating masses seen in the chest radiograms of children, since the disease is not a rarity. The radiological signs and its differential diagnosis are considered, emphasizing the possibility of the masking of a hydatid cyst by a superimposed pneumonia. The importance of verifying the presence of echinococcosis before deciding on puncture of the lung is stressed.
