Surgery is still the primary treatment modality for
echinococcosis disease of the liver. Important complications
may develop following the surgical treatment due to the
surgical approach and a parasite. Cystic echinococcosis
located at the diaphragmatic surface of the liver rarely
open to the thorax cavity, but this condition can result
in various complications in the lung parenchyma, pleura
and bronchial tree. Bronchobiliary fistula occurring in
hepatic echinococcosis disease is a rare but dangerous
complication. In this report, we present two cases of
bronchobiliary fistula which developed via two different
types of echinococcosis infestation.
