A 36-year-old male patient receiving medical treatment
with the preliminary diagnosis of pulmonary embolism
was admitted with the complaint of hemoptysis. Thoracic
magnetic resonance imaging and angiographic computed
tomography revealed possible cystic lesions in the right
pulmonary artery and bronchiectasis in the lower lobe.
There was no finding related with intracardiac hydatid
cyst in echocardiography. A right thoracotomy and lower
lobectomy was applied. Gross examination of the tissue
specimen revealed a hydatid cyst located in the pulmonary
artery. We present this case as intraarterial hydatid cyst is
extremely rare without any cardiac or hepatic involvement.
